Struggling to Find a Therapist Who Understands My Neurodivergent Needs

Also you may be looking at neurodivergent therapists without being aware of it (on psych today or whatever site) It's often discouraged to share one's own diagnoses with patients and they may be high functioning, you never know. Personally I plan to share my experience with autism because it's impossible to understand the neurodivergent experience w/o having it

Hmu in four years if the ableist process doesn't eat away at me completely (jkjk I'm applying to clinical social work programs). Unfortunately I'm in a similar boat but I have an LCSW now instead of an LMHC and I'll never go back. She may not be autistic but the MSW training creates much more empathetic and holistic therapists who can better approach your situation. Hope this helps and feel free to message me :)
