Autism in particular and neurodivergence in general are becoming better understood as each year passes. Stereotypes that used to be applied are found to be incomplete at best. Every autistic person's experience is unique with many variations within the group. Of increasing interest is the experience of older adults newly diagnosed with autism. How does one understand and gain insights when considering a life viewed backwards through the lens of autism? This book is a personal exploration of the process created in the hope that others may draw some comfort in the shared experiences. The author is a man in his late sixties only recently diagnosed as autistic. Looking back over his life, he finds many of the signs were always present but misunderstood at the time.
