I’m gonna have my very first phone appointment with the counsellor that also has autism (like I do) tomorrow evening, so I hope it goes well and that shes the right fit for me 🙏

Thanks @Dreamy im a bit nervous since it does require me to actually talk in the session instead of it being a webchat-type counselling haha 😅 but at the same time I do hope that she’s definitely someone that does ‘get me’ unlike every other psychologists and counsellors I’ve met throughout my whole life.
I’m also right now desperately waiting for a few responses back to my emails even though I know it’s 7am but I just really hope I can get those responses from them back to me later on today during their business hours 😖😭

@Blackcloud can understand being nervous but i truly hope this all works out for you. You deserve to have someone that gets you.
I hope you get those email responses soon and before the day is over, It can be so frustrating waiting to get a reply back.

Sounds interesting. Was it intentional that you found someone who is autistic @Blackcloud ? (Please note, I'm not saying anything is 'wrong' with being autistic)
