Excellent! There are definitely both pros and cons to finding out, but I believe that the pros outweigh the cons. Perhaps the most significant pro is that it helps alleviates self hatred.
A friend showed me the movie “Mary and Max” (2009) which has an early scene where they describe the behaviors of Max, an autistic man. That’s what started me down the rabbit hole. All undiagnosed adults are aware how different they are compared to others, but that awareness is mostly suppressed by masking. Mostly.
