Today we’re chatting with our friend Michael, who is seeking an autism diagnosis as an adult. We discuss the struggles of living the majority of our lives feeling different and not knowing why, the challenges of seeking a professional that will work with an adult, chronic illness and comorbid conditions and some of the things that led Michael to the realization that he could be on the spectrum. As newly diagnosed autistics ourselves, we share our experiences, advice and the pros and cons of getting an official diagnosis.
