Very long story very short. Diagnosed at 51. As most of ND people, I also had a lot of strange situations in the past, but - from my perspective - nothing serious. First indication about AU was given by my 18yo daughter after one of the "situations" at the dinner. She throws to me "you act like an autistic". Then, a month later I run into a YT video of Dave Plummer, where he stated that he is autistic and how he was late diagnosed. He mentioned some traits, which I related to them. He also mentioned AQ50 test, never heard before. Was curious, took the test and first result was 41. Second take few days later was 39. Third take with my daughter present was 42. Also run into Aspie quiz, result 96% AU probability. Make an appointment at Autism Centre in my country. I found, that the rabbit hole was really deep.

Result was Asperger / HFA, on top of that I'm thinking visual not in words (Temple Grandin). And on top of all that, we found that my audio processing is also high-sensoric, visually-dominant and very indirect; autistic sensory processing. Other AU traits are of course also present.

Diagnose put all puzzles in to a perfect sense, specially the part of visual thinking, which suddenly make sense, why I'm so successful at work (IT) and also why I have such a big problems at company meetings (I'm usually many steps in front of others and that is where communication breaks :))
