Ever Been Referred to Wrong Planet By Your Psychologist?

Post Reply New Topic

Has anyone ever been referred to Wrong Planet by a psychologist or psychiatrist? If you are seeing a psychologist or psychiatrist, do you think Wrong Planet would magnify the beneficial effects of whatever counseling sessions you receive?

WPn offense to alex here, is a WILDCARD! I would NEVER just refer someone here!

You could see someone talk about a special gift, like advanced memory, math, artisical, ability, and feel your diagnosis is wrong, or be depressed, because you don't have it!

You could ALSO see someone here speaking of no relationships, a loser, desiring suicide because they are a slave, etc.... THAT could make YOU decide to give up, etc...

OK, I'll admit it, in many ways I am in the later group. In many ways I am in the former as well though. If I was thinking of committing suicide JUST before coming here, this might have kicked me over the brink!

No, but I think this could work both ways. Maybe it would do psychiatrists/psychologists good to come here and see things from the AS point of view. I think WP is a generally a positive place. I've certainly felt better since I found this place and learned a lot about what it means to be AS.

I was considering printing out a WP poster and posting it in the waiting rooms of the psychiatry department along with the posters for clinical studies of depression, PTSD, social phobia and other stuff.

It would be grounds for a lawsuit.

I love this place, which if you know me, is warning enough.

Having some NT Psyche Major label you is the worst that could happen, suddenly you become it.

No one here has AS, it is much too broad, all have some of AS.

As Zukenkerl points out, there are up sides and down, somethings we are, some we feel in reaction to others.

I am one person when I wake up, intolerant of human filth, and another after coffee, intolerant of human filth, with a sense of humor.

It is still battlefield humor, Gallows Humor, jokeing in the face of grim situations.

So you might not be voted Homecoming Queen, or even Maid of Honor, but Bob, you are 43 and drive a truck, and you could stand to loose a hundred pounds, and I think that is an unrealistic goal. Work on what you can, there is this stuff called Hipposuction, check it out, maybe you can at least fit in the dress.

There seems to be a constant stream that come here seeking people who will understand their feelings. They expect people to pay attention, make eye contact, understand and care. They have just been told by a real psychiatrist/psychologist about having a horrible incurable disorder they will have to struggle against every day for the rest of their lives.

Let them meet me before coffee.

Having discovered AS and WP on the same day, and as a senior, well, I have known a lot of people stranger than me. Most of them in fact.

Maybe it comes with age, AS teen, or just teen? I have a hard time telling what they are going on about.

The strongest reactions I have gotten, which even I found strange, considering I pick apart everything, is when I come out pro AS, I do like it, and consider what I am, whatever that is, to be great. It is the hand I have been dealt.

I like AS, it gives me range. It is more than sixty years defending me, knowing nothing of psychobabble, I have Super Powers and a high IQ. I would have never become the writer without it.

Writing takes a skill set, I drink, brood, have dark moods, see the worst in people, look for early formative events that maimed their personality, and for the hidden motives behind their actions. Being human is about hiding self and seeking revenge. Great characters do it with style. Most are just liers and thieves.

Almost all human relationships can be defined under the heading , Prostitution. Someone is selling, someone is buying, flesh is being exchanged for money, position, something. Psychologists are like phone sex, overpriced and cheating at the game.

Humans I can dissect, expose, demean, humiliate, and I never get complaints.

But let me say Autism is the greatest gift one could have, the ability to see farther, understand deeper, and that it is more in tune with the Universe than any other form of thinking, and I get told that everything I say is wrong, and the therapist who perscribed their pills told them that they had to fight everyday to try to drag their crippled self up to minimal NT standards, at least in some ways, part time, and that Autism was an evil to be fought.

I thought "Support Site" meant being in favor of, I still do.

No, but I mentioned its existence TO my counselor . . .

No and if they ever do, remember the following words..
"I want a refund"
