Autistic Hedgehog
RSSApparently, I can't be autistic because my therapist thinks being able to describe how my depression feels and understanding emotions makes me "allistic". Being able to talk about emotions, explain them, describe them is a thing only allistics can do now. I'm just triggered by the whole thing and I feel as if all of my other symptoms don't matter anymore, they were actually ignored (like my sensory problems) because I could TALK about my emotions. The worst part is she's an autistic specialist.

Honestly, if at all possible, it’s time for you to find a new therapist. This is a woman who has no place calling herself an “autistic specialist;” she ought to be fired.
She’s wrong. Full stop. She’s ignorant and she’s doing you actual harm, and really, if you’re seeing her for things like depression, then it will only get worse with her treating you like that. You’re not in any way in the wrong here. She, however, is incredibly shitty at her job.

timelord-library said: I originally went to therapy following a breakdown after the death of my father so all I did for a year was talk about my feelings and my therapist is the one who realized I was autistic so I add my opinion that a new therapist is an order
