Finding a decent therapist we can relate with and feel safe with takes time so it is no wonder you are so shaken by this.
Have a think about what you really need right now? Is it therapy? A good friend to listen and not judge? Some other kind of help?
If it is a special kind of grief therapy or special kind of helper then they might be better equipped to help you.
Peace and love.
I'm not sure what options you believe I might have. The only option I have that I am aware of is that I can hire a therapist. (Just not the one that I want, because life is perverse that way.)
I am not aware of any special kind of therapist or helper that exists. I have already burdened my few friends, and I will still do so, but it's not enough. I can't ask them for the degree of help and support that I need. Perhaps I will no longer have even my few friends after this.
I have never been helped by a therapist, and I have often been harmed, but what else is there?
There are always other options, and by the sounds of it you have lot more going on than grief and dealing with autism and a possible personality difficulties.
Your therapist should do a thorough assessment and discuss with you what you want from therapy and if they can meet your needs. Also a decent therapist will mention having regular reviews.
They will also have some kind of way of having their work reviewed and be able to act accordingly.
Without knowing what country you are in it is difficult to give you many pointers here.
