Early autism dx is accepting that this is as good as it gets. It’s about foreclosing your future and lowering your expectations, compensating for your condition by trying less hard.
Late autism dx is about setting your standards and dreams so high and crashing and burning.

Early autism dx is about missing out on schooling because of special Ed and taking calculus in your 30s. It’s about finally dreaming of driving at 50.
Late dx is about being super successful and gifted early and making up with the special needs counseling journey later
