Question 1

Is therapy for Autistic clients about changing who I am?

Accepted Answer

It is a reasonable worry, and worth asking about directly. The work is usually about what surrounds Autism, such as burnout, Anxiety, and the cost of masking, not about changing who you are, so ask each therapist what they think therapy is for. On Alma, compare therapists in Amarillo who work with Autistic clients and listen to how they answer.

Question 2

Can a therapist on Alma diagnose Autism?

Accepted Answer

If an assessment is what you are after, it helps to know before you book. Most therapists do not carry out diagnostic assessments themselves, so ask each one directly whether they do or can point you to someone who does. On Alma, browse therapists in Amarillo who work with Autistic clients and ask about assessment when you reach out.

Question 4

How can I tell if a therapist understands Autistic clients?

On Alma, browse therapists in Amarillo who work with Autistic clients and start with the profiles that speak to your situation.

Question 5

Can I tell a therapist how I prefer to communicate?

Is therapy short-term or ongoing?
