| Welcome to WP! Regarding your question: 1. Does your psychotherapist routinely work with Autism? Or is it just something they are vaguely aware of? My understanding is it takes some specialized knowledge to do an assessment. 2. If you've met one autistic then you've met one autistic. We're all diffe... |
