still upset by my therapist strongly implying that autism's biggest telltale is lack of empathy/understanding of others. not only is that factually untrue, but my problem is literally the opposite. i have too much empathy, i notice too much, i feel too much. no i don't have a problem "reading between the lines" or "inferring people's intentions" i never stop reading between the lines and inferring people's intentions. think will graham but without the murders.

#it sucks so much that quote unquote medical professionals actually know fuck all about autism #and a lot of other disorders #my aunt is a therapist and every time she says anything i'm like god i feel bad for her patients #like idk if you're not super invested and passionate about mental health and neurodiversity and reading up on all the new research #then what are you doing working in the mental health and neurodiversity field #those are people's lives you're not helping/making worse by being ignorant #i'm soooo annoyed
