^ I find that too. It's incredibly non-specific, and to answer properly one would need to expound, when often those questions require a yes/no answer, or a scale answer from never --> always, which also doesn't allow a full answer, or allow clarification to be had. Grr.

How do you go to these group therapies? If you don't mind my asking? I don't know who to ask. I have a Psychologist but it doesn't recommend them often.
I found most of them through my own research and made inquiries / contacted the people organizing. I was also attending one because I was a test subject for an autism study once at a neurological institution, and they told me my results got me referred to their therapies group, to try and help nonfunctional people be functional.
But it wasn't helpful, to be honest. If you have a high IQ, it was actually less than useless. They treated everyone like they had an intellectual disability, even those of us who were above average.
If you're interested in getting into therapies groups, if it may actually help you, I'd recommend researching which autism organizations are in your area and contacting the general inquiries and ask if they facilitate anything. One note though, which may or may not relate to you - for some of them you did actually need to be diagnosed with autism. I don't agree with that stipulation, but some of them did list it in their eligibility.
