@MJG017 I was just having a chat with my peer worker over the phone the past few hours today and this was something that she asked me that I myself have  never ever thought about it until she brought it up. She asked me if I know if any those psychologists/counsellors I've met are neurodivergent themselves - it never crossed my mind that way, but I've find this really interesting cause now I'm thinking, oh wow, if only I'd be able to find someone whose also ND that I can talk to, then perhaps they'd be able to understand a lot more about me and my struggles with social stuff than those professionals that aren't diagnosed with ND themselves if you get what I mean. A really interesting question and thought indeed.

@Jynx @creative_writer I get both of your points about meeting and interacting with others that are also ND. I have an online friend whose also on the spectrum, which I guess might explain her constant short responses to long paragraph texts I would sometimes write lol, as well as her leaving me on read sometimes. I told her a bit about my session with my psychologist and shes aware that psychologists/counsellors might not be fully equipped with dealing with people like us as our brains are really different.
