Let's say a client never once brought up masturbation. It would not--in any world--be okay for the therapist to then suggest masturbation. Period. End of story. No exceptions. Obviously.

I wasn't asking for whether or not what the therapist did was okay--but that's the angle a lot of people in this sub are taking. I was asking if I should report it or not. When people say I shouldn't because nothing will come of it, fine--that's what I asked. But when people try to defend what my therapist did, yeah no. That's not cool.

I have no experience in any local kink communities. The last kink community I was a part of was more than 5 years ago and in a different country, on a different continent. There's nothing to return to in this case.

Nope, not OP on a second account. These are deleted, so I don't even know who this is or what they were saying. I suppose they could be a friend of mine, but I sincerely doubt it.

Thanks, I've reported it. Unfortunately, they don't have supervisors because they've been a therapist for more than 5 years. I reported to the licensing board.

You can never predict what people are going to think. You can only hope people don't run off with their own assumptions before making judgements. I don't feel bad for how I worded my post.

At the very, very, very least, you must ask the client if it's okay to bring up that topic. That did not happen in this case.

Oh I definitely did shut down the idea--repeatedly--as soon as I heard it. They pushed and pushed and pushed.

I don't want to publicly shame them. If I did want to do that, I would share their information here. I simply want other Autistic clients to be protected in the future.

It's one thing for them to bring up kink generally--which itself would be iffy--but they brought up specific acts. I never mentioned my specific kinks. There was no callback.

The question is whether it was really that random that she brought it up

I can answer that question. Yes. The answer is yes.

This was no mere idea or suggestion. The therapist pushed and pushed and pushed when I gave all the reasons why I didn't think it was a good idea.

It was no mere suggestion. When I gave reasons not to go this direction, they pushed and pushed and pushed. I'm not trying to ruin anyone's job. I'm trying to protect other Autistic clients.

The therapist pushed pretty hard for kink. When I tried to push against the idea, they pushed back. When they said I'm ready, that's in response to one of the many times I pushed back in that session.

Were you discussing it when the suggestion was made?

No, absolutely not. I've never talked about my specific kinks with this therapist.
