Andrew Davies, diagnosed with autism at 70, highlights the plight of many older adults who remain undiagnosed. Research indicates that over 90% of autistic individuals over 50 in England may not be recognized as such, with estimates suggesting as many as 600,000 could be affected. Historically seen as a childhood condition, autism often goes unrecognized in older generations. Davies shares his journey of self-discovery, detailing lifelong challenges and the liberating effect of understanding his authentic self. Experts urge improved awareness and support for older adults to ensure they lead fulfilling lives.
