Late Awareness

Hey everyone, 26y/o male here.

Lately, I've started to realize that many aspects of my life have been deeply aligned with traits often associated with HFA (High-Functioning Autism). I’ve never been officially diagnosed or seen a psychologist about it—and I’m not currently planning to—but I wanted to reach out and connect with others who may have had similar late realizations or experiences.

Has anyone here gone through a late self-discovery or received a diagnosis in adulthood? Would love to hear your stories.
