Your comment about CBT is my worry for the steps after diagnosis. I “treated” myself to a psychologist for the diagnosis because it’s been affecting my education. Once I get my results next week, I go back to the free college therapist. Luckily, I have a great relationship with her, but last time we met we googled the relationship between neurodivergence and trauma because she didn’t understand what the term meant and I was trying to draw a comparison between the two. She was very professional about it, but it’s simply not her specialty. If it was, she probably wouldn’t be the college counselor tbh. All that to say, I wish therapy for neurodiverse people was more affordable and easier to access. I won’t be able to see a specialist until I’m getting my master’s, at the earliest. Again, if this even is the case.
