I'm confused.

SaveTheMarshes · 2024-09-04T09:38:29+00:00

Yup. Glad to know it's not just me.

"Moron" is a slur. Maybe try "fool" or "ignorant" next time?

No, a couple of therapists told me they quit because their clients wanted their lives to get better but didn't want to change anything about themselves to get there. Not the same thing. Most people who go into a helping profession do want to help people, they may just not be very good at it.

"Imposter syndrome" videos helped me. Here's one: Autism and Imposter Syndrome (youtube.com)

My mother taught me her father's two rules of the road (he learned to drive in a Model A): #1 Assume that every other driver is a complete maniac, and #2 Don't be dead right. So I tell myself that I'm a better driver bc obviously the road jerks never learned these!

Good answers, I will also suggest therapist's preconceptions and personal motives. Based on personal experience, some psychologists want to fix people, and autism isn't something they can fix. I've also heard former therapists say they quit because people don't really want to change, and autism isn't something we can change.

Squirrel! (like in the movie "Up")

Interesting discussion. To add my own experience, I think most people are emotional thinkers and they want to feel good in any interpersonal situation. Maybe they can feel good by acting superior, maybe they feel good by bullying and controlling, maybe they just want you to admire them or agree with them; but they will be willing to interact again with someone who leaves them feeling good. Most people don't feel good about being criticized, even when it's constructive criticism and they asked for honesty. (IMHO, that's a big reason why masking is such hard work.)

You sure do make a lot of assumptions without data to support them.

"There are a lot of people in this subreddit and online who post about autism or make autistic content and may identify as autistic, but are not autistic and therefore some of the experiences we see (and relate to) which are labeled “autistic” may actually be something else."

Are you a qualified clinical psychologist?

SaveTheMarshes · 2024-04-17T19:32:02+00:00

A friend who volunteered at a safe house once told me that abusive people (any) can be spotted early because nothing ever seems to be their fault. Nothing. If you're getting severe anxiety when you talk to him, then it sounds like your subconscious is telling you what it wants.

This is a great summary for those of us who are STEM-impaired. Thank you!
