But will you, as a psychotherapist, have the patience and understanding to deal with someone with Asperger's Syndrome???

I'm about the most motivated pateint a therapist could want, by the way, but I'm also fluent in the lingo due to studying psychology and having been in the system so long, so I'm a pain in the ass. Can you imagine having to be a therapist for an overachieving psychology major?
Ex. Me, after a meltdown in front of my psychiatrist, to my therapist: "I bet my GAF jsut went down 20 points in his estimation."

No one at all???
Except for me, of course.
Will I have to pay you along with paying Serissa? Or does your catering come free of monetary charge?

LOL. A psychology major as a client almost requires a whole new approach for a therapist. Totally different tactics to take. I can only imagine what an Asperger Psychology major would require.
Hehe, I'm almost tempted to get back into therapy to find out. Play with the therapist's mind... muahahahahaha. My little secret experiment...
Ever been "fired" by a therapist before? "Sophist, this just isn't working out. I'd like to refer you on to... blah, blah, blah."

Naaah. At my current treatment place, I wasn't a match for one therapist because she would have to go on materniaty leave (so, of course, because I can't get pregnant, that would HAVE to bother me :roll) and the next therapist was a terrible therapist IMO, and my current therapist, who is kind of her boss, agrees that she was like 90% wrong in her interaction with me. I KNEW what she should be doing and she didn't! I consider myself to have fired her just as much as she fired me.
One therapist of mine thought I might have BPD, though. In other words, she hated me. ((I'm not making this up, that's what therapists diagnose clients with when they hate their clients.)) I do NOT have BPD. That's my mom.

That's what the last therapist tried to stick me with. He only lasted about 8 sessions not to mention made me anxious enough I had to go back on Paxil. I totally have some PTSD from that a**hole. When I described some of his tactics, my mother (the retired therapist) just sat there in shock and moderate outrage...
No, I definitely fired him.

I shall be a benevolent center of the universe. It will be free of charge, and all you all would have to do is just follow my rules.
1. Don't anger me.
2. If you anger me, at least have a good reason.
3. If you anger others, you will fight it out with sticks.
I think everything will progress nicely from there.
