What is the purpose of “adult autism “ diagnosis?
Legit question, forgive my ignorance. I see a lot of stuff for adults to get an autism diagnosis. I don’t understand what that diagnosis means. Can anyone explain it? What does such a diagnosis provide? Are there benefits one can apply for or something? Are there people who have reached adulthood without getting diagnosed? I don’t know a lot about autism. Are there degrees of severity? Thanks in advance
