Not always... After the tests I was considered to be "broader autism phenotype", some obvious traits but neurotypical, until after about a year and no further testing the same psychiatrist decided that yes there were enough met criteria and set a diagnosis. 🤷♂️
Then again the "some obvious traits" was enough to gain the self-understanding, just I didn't dare access peer support.
People knowing when they die at the latest will probably mean more than it being 50. At some point after abt 45 life becomes either (finances allowing) a hedonistic spree, gracefully putting your affairs in order, and/or an anxious nightmare watching the hours tick by. Not sure if people will come together enough to demand a kind of pension to allow for a year or two of calm for that, but anyone that can, will take ot anyway.
People will focus on their health a little less when there's no time for many lifestyle-related illnesses to manifest.
The speed of scientific development slows. People have less time to learn, experiment, and mentor the next generation.
