So here I am, pretty confident in what I am but diagnosis is upcoming but not yet done.

Still, for different reasons I am in therapy. It happens to revolve around generic stuff which might be useful for people who don’t know themselves very well or have suppressed emotions or other stuff. All of which is definetly not me.

Mostly I know what he’s getting at but I feel I am far ahead in my thoughts and out of his league.

I also know what some of the answers are going to be (both sides basically) but would like to ask for your experience with neurotypical therapists.

In short: I don’t think they have any idea of our scope and can not apply their knowledge appropriately.

Edit: thanks for the answers (so far and maybe following)! The situation I stated left quite a bit out on details, especially the credit that I got on the right path due to the help of the therapy. Apologies for that. However, my focus was on the current state and that’s where I was thinking of asking about your experiences.

    Only bad.

    One would just sit and stare at me for half an hour as I completely carried the conversation.
    Another tried to upsell me acupuncture at “her friend”.
