Sudden?
There have been plenty of warning signs over the years. By the time recent shitstorm(s) started I already had a strongly negative opinion of the guy.

But I never thought I'm 'on a spectrum'. Since heterosexuality is also completely foreign to me - I just assumed I'm a minority in most other areas too ;-) I had to have a long adjustment to the idea that despite being a part of a persecuted minority - there's nothing wrong with me. It's the society that is the problem - not me. Being in a majority is not a proof of a validity of your views - it is just an easier way of living, because you don't have to think about anything. And once you do that mental adjustment once - it is easy to apply elsewhere. I think that watching TV is a waste of time, I'd rather read a book - so what? I'll politely nod when someone is excited about yet another insufferable TV hit series, just as I will politely nod when they are talking about their heterosexual marriage / kids / suburban utopia. I don't have any desire to join in.
London Underground in the 1980s was like NYC Subway now - but after sustained 15-20 years of funding it improved immensely (while passenger levels more than doubled, if not tripled).
Of course this could not last - with the current Conservative government Underground is getting less and less money, so starting to defer upgrades... Politicians are incapable of learning.
