Content Warning: controversial therapy

I'm interested in pursuing social skills and communication/language training, however, I recently read controversary surrounding these services, similar to the concerns surrounding ABA therapies. I received advice from a specialist who strongly recommended PEERS or a similar program to help with my social skills and a language/speech therapist to help improve my speaking skills. I was really interested in looking into these further, but now I'm not so sure.

To anyone who has tried social skills, language, or communications therapies and they are comfortable sharing their stories and opinions I would greatly appreciate it. I feel having an opinion from someone who has actually received these treatments would be very helpful.
