| I was diagnosed with ASD over a year ago, but i still feel like i'm faking. I don't really feel like i relate enough to other autistic people. My emotions are too intense, and i get very attached to people, but not really in a bad way. People have tried to reassure me that I'm not faking, but i stil... |

| A lot of things. Like when she completely dismissed my concerns about how she was giving me way too many diagnoses that didn't make sense. Or when she basically admitted that therapy wouldn't work on me no matter how hard I tried, and she was gonna make me take medicine to "be normal" (fun... |

| Genuinely. You guys may know I posted here a while back about my "therapist" just cutting off all contact with me with no explanation. I'm doing much better now, and I got a new therapist, that has a designated time slot for me that's the same each week. Honestly I'm glad that the "th... |

| I'm going to start out stating that I'm in the US, & I actually prefer small independent therapists to ones that are part of a large practice. So to me, independent isn't a red flag at all. That said, please report this non-responsive therapist to the licensing authorities. Being bad at communi... |

| Normally you do not schedule appointments with your therapist, but with your therapist's receptionist/secretary. You should be able to call the receptionist during business hours and just talk to them and schedule an appointment. If you are trying to contact the therapist directly, that is rather u... |

| I have no idea what happened. We have tried contacting her a few times, but she hasn't responded. It's been 2 months. She always "forgot" to schedule new appointments, and ignored me for weeks at a time, only to say she was "busy". She acts like I'm not important, and dismissed m... |

| Well, after my mom called and texted her many times, she finally responded and scheduled more appointments. But it was a few months ago that I had those appointments, and she gave no explanation at the sessions. Now she hasn't called my mom back for basically the entire summer. It feels like forever... |

| I know it will be better this week, but last week I went to this group, because I wanna meet other autistic girls and possibly make friends. There was only 1 other kid, who i didn't relate at all to. There were 2 female staff members and I got along well with them, because I'm like an adult woman in... |

| I'm very interested in people, real and fictional. I'm also not too great at math, but I'm a master at understanding character's emotions in reading. I have an average IQ. I hate it when my family talks about science. I hate reading. I don't get overwhelmed easily, unless something is extremely loud... |

| All of this is possible but 2 weeks is a long time to not respond. I am assuming the therapist doesn't have a vacation message on phone or checks her emails or has a secretary. I would drive by during business hours to check if the therapist is open. Fair enough. I understand why she's concerned. I... |

I've tried online therapy, actually, and had multiple bad experiences, so I don't really think that's an option at this ... |

| If you’re desperate couldn’t you just get a new one? For the time being at least. Until you get a new one. I really don't wanna get another one, because I've been to so many therapists before this one that didn't understand me or decided they didn't want to work with me. Hopefully she will reply so... |
