Understanding signs of parental neurodivergence
Many older adults remain undiagnosed with autism or ADHD, with estimates indicating that up to 97% of autistic people over 60 are not diagnosed. This can lead to challenges in later life, including increased difficulty managing social situations, health issues, and emotional distress, especially after retirement when routines and support systems change.

Diagnosis options include both NHS assessments and private providers, with support emphasizing behavioral adjustments and connecting with others to enhance quality of life.
