Older adult diagnosis

hi. I’m just looking to connect with older adults who have been diagnosed late in life, preferably with level 3 I think it’s called (only because I think experiences would be similar). I am 50yo and I recently received a diagnosis. I’m trying to come to terms with it, but mostly trying to figure out how to unmask I guess. I think I’ve gotten really good at masking over the years and now I have no idea how to be my truly authentic self. That aside, I thought it would be nice to hear other people’s experiences :)
