Andrew Davies was a minister for the first 10 years of the Welsh government and assembly member for Swansea West from 1999 to 2011 .
Andrew , now 72 , retired in 2019 following a long and impressive career.
Research suggests 250,000 to 600,000 people over the age of 50 in England may be autistic but undiagnosed.
Andrew also experiences hypersensitivity to noise, smells and fluorescent lights.
Autism was viewed as a very rare condition in the '60s when people were in their youth.
Today it is viewed in a far more common way and the prevalence rates reflect that.
For many older people receiving a diagnosis was a "lightbulb moment" and meant they could better understand their experiences.
