So, time is closing in on me and it's almost my turn to visit a psychologist/therapist/psychiatrist and whatever experts we have in that field nowadays to look at my "issues" and eventually get a bit of support there. I'm reluctant to get therapy over the fact that I can't be bothered to end up with large bills that don't do anything at all. If I were to get some kind of therapy program it would have to be super beneficial for myself... and I don't see that happening. It's not that I don't acknowledge personal issues, but I don't see them as a bad thing, just as someones personality traits don't need fixing. From a more "arrogant" perspective; I don't need fixing, people just need to learn to deal with me. As well as "this machine is inherently broken, you want me to function in the same lacking manner". So anyway;
This raises the follow question with me, and it might be directed more towards adult aspies rather than parents and aspies of whom parents still have a say in how they function.
Did you need/get any therapy, and if so, what did you actually get out of it?
I'm still convinced that I'm not inherently broken and need fixing nor adjusting and my issues are (for a big part) a sign of the times. I mean, with the increasing numbers of people having some kind of "mental illness" and seeking treatment and/or medication one can wonder how much of an individual problem it is that needs fixing.
So, anyone have any experiences to share?
