It is an old age to be diagnosed. I'm sorry to hear that you weren't diagnosed earlier. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 16 but I had psychiatric input since I was 12, so I felt angry too. I had severe behavioural problems as a child and they diagnosed me with ADHD and Tourette's Syndrome at the age of 4, which tbh I think is bullsh*t because I have autism, not ADHD and Tourette's (I don't know where the Tourette's bit came from - I never had phonic tics).

	PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10 or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student. I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out. I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included. Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.
