At 70, Andrew Davies discovered he was autistic, a revelation that reshaped his understanding of himself after decades of feeling ‘broken.’ Research indicates that over 90% of autistic individuals above 50 remain undiagnosed, reflecting a broader issue in recognizing autism in older adults. Davies’ lifelong struggles with social interactions and hypersensitivity highlight the need for better identification of autism, as many older individuals seek support after a late diagnosis. Experts stress the importance of acknowledging autism as a lifelong condition to provide necessary help and improve the quality of life for older adults.
