To IsabellaLinton: Yeah, she definitely seemed legit when talking to her. I'll reach out to her tomorrow to see if I can get a written report, but it has been a few months since I saw her, so I'm not sure how accurate it might be if she's doing it based off memory? We'll see, I suppose. Yeah, I heard women and girls don't get diagnosed as easily, which is really lame. I'm glad you were able to get the diagnosis you needed! Yeah, I'd still like to know the difference between Aspergers and High-Functioning...will have to try to research it further later!
To cyberdad: Yeah, this doctor definitely doesn't seem the best, not just from the feedback here but obviously from what I noticed too. It felt so wrong for her to say those things, which is why I just stuck around long enough to get the diagnosis and then left.
It wasn't a doctor, it was a mental health professional, I just couldn't think of what she was considered (like do I use the term therapist? doctor? what? so I just went with doctor, but she does have all those credentials and I looked up multiple times if people with those credentials could diagnose, which I got yes for). But yeah, she definitely shouldn't be belittling others like that, and as I said, it made me uncomfortable as she was doing it and I'm pretty sure I showed that discomfort. I definitely kept protesting, pointing out my friend on the spectrum who has more severe Autism, but she wouldn't listen to me. I guess I might look into reporting her? But I'd still like to get a written diagnosis from her if I can before doing so...
