Diagnosed with Asperger's at 65: Charles Grimes on Finally Understanding Himself

<p class="ql-align-justify">Charles Grimes has spent nearly 30 years as a business psychologist, helping leaders understand themselves so they could lead others well. But he’s also been trying to understand himself, with therapy, courses, and numerous self-assessment tools. But it wasn't until he was 65 — when a friend made a casual, throwaway comment — that the missing piece finally clicked into place. He had Asperger's. The diagnosis didn't feel like bad news. It felt like freedom.</p><blockquote>"It's okay to be Charles. And that's something which I hadn't felt. And I'm 65. This is very late in life to suddenly feel it's okay to be me."</blockquote><h3></h3><h3><strong>Hear Charles talk about:</strong></h3><ul><li>What his friend said that set the whole thing in motion and why he didn't dismiss it</li><li>What "masking" is, and the exhausting work of hiding in plain sight for decades</li><li>The conductor who walked into rehearsal and transformed a mediocre choir without saying a word - and what this has to do with leadership</li><li>What fell into place when he looked back at his life through the new lens of his diagnosis</li><li>Learning about love and connection later in life — and why he thinks it's never too late</li></ul><br/><h3><strong>Mentioned in this episode:</strong></h3><ul><li><a href="https://aquestionofleadership.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A Question of Leadership</a> by Charles Grimes</li><li><a href="https://www.autism.org.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The National Autistic Society</a> — where Charles went for his formal assessment</li></ul><br/><p><strong>Support This Show:</strong></p><ul><li>Follow Tell Me What It’s Like in your favorite podcast app</li><li>Leave a rating & review — it helps others find the show</li><li>Share the episode and tag @RaineMediaCo on social media</li></ul><br/><h3></h3><p>Mentioned in this episode:</p><p><strong>Help Others Discover the Show</strong></p><p>Enjoying Tell Me What It’s Like?

<p class="ql-align-justify">When soccer coach Scott Martin contracted a rare illness that took his hands and parts of his feet, it took the way he coached the game as well as his confidence.
