I didn't get diagnosed until 49. It pretty much took my wife forcing me to go see a psychiatrist because she couldn't take it any longer. I'm also pretty sure I'm on the ASD spectrum but I haven't been diagnosed formally. I'm also constantly fighting with my insurance because I'm now 54 and "too old" for the meds.

Typical insurgence... That sucks pal. Insurance withholding care that a DOCTOR has prescribed shouldn't be a thing. Best of luck to you. I can't find my medication anywhere around me right now. Having to call around been almost a week now without. It sucks.
