Answer 1

My girlfriend got her diagnosis well into adulthood, and in her case the main benefits have been it gives other people (including me) better resources to understand her needs, and because with the diagnosis comes the opportunity to e.g. get disability accommodations at school or work or possibly go on government disability if you need to.
