越来越多 50 岁以上的成年人被诊断患有自闭症谱系疾病。这些成年人在自闭症认识不足的时代长大，在不知不觉中生活在这种情况下，并需要重新调整面容。本文报告了第一项调查这一人群的研究。采访了 9 名最近被诊断患有 ASC 的 50 岁以上成年人，并使用主题分析法对笔录进行了分析。结果显示，参与者接受了焦虑和抑郁的治疗。他们报告了童年时期的 ASC 行为，并在成长过程中感到孤立和陌生。接受诊断被视为积极的一步，可以重新配置自我并了解个人需求。鉴于接受晚期诊断的积极方面，需要开展更多工作来识别患有未确诊 ASC 的老年人。
Increasingly adults over the age of 50 are receiving a diagnosis of autism spectrum condition. Growing up in a time when autism was poorly recognised, these adults have lived unknowingly with the condition and face readjustment. This paper reports the first study to investigate this population. Nine adults over the age of 50, who had recently been diagnosed with ASC, were interviewed, and thematic analysis was used to analyse the transcripts. Results showed that the participants had received treatment for anxiety and depression. They reported ASC behaviours in their childhood and growing up they felt isolated and alien. Receiving a diagnosis was seen as a positive step and allowed for a reconfiguration of self and an appreciation of individual needs. Given the positive aspects of receiving a late diagnosis, more work is needed to identify older adults with undiagnosed ASC.
