Can you talk about diagnoses for people on the autism spectrum who are a bit older? If someone is in the Baby Boomer generation or older, and has no prior diagnosis or treatment for ASD, are the signs different like they are with childhood vs. adult ADD?
In other words, how would someone who is Baby Boomer generation or older go about getting a valid diagnosis for ASD?
And then what?
I feel like a lot of the problems would be compounded by years with no treatment. Is that true in your experience or knowledge?
