RFK jr talking about how “autism is only being diagnosed in children, not in older adults, it must be an epidemic” is crazy because have you ever met someone who is 60+ who is clearly autistic and doesn’t realize and suggest they get diagnosed? sometimes they’re offended you even suggest doing that

Also as was pointed out to me after my assessment kerfuffle, there's really not much if any benefit to getting an official diagnosis as an adult. You don't need a diagnosis to benefit from sharing stories / coping strategies with other autistic people, and it's not like there are medications for it.
