This. I've always known, but never got diagnosed. After struggling through life, I thought I could get help. So I was tested and got a plethora of things I wasn't expecting. Now I'm being treated for other things and the ASD diagnosis only confirms what I had always known about why things are different (i.e. I didn't always know I had ASD, but I've always known that things are different). But my life is undoubtedly better now and had I grown up in a healthy environment, I may have known all these things much earlier and may not have needed to struggle for so long.
