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 Deer Park who work with Autistic clients and listen to how they answer.

Question 2

Can I start therapy if I think I am Autistic but have not been diagnosed?

Accepted Answer

Wondering whether you are Autistic is a reasonable thing to explore in therapy. You do not need a diagnosis to start, and a therapist can talk with you about what you are noticing. Most therapists do not assess, so if a formal evaluation is what you want, ask first. On Alma, read profiles of therapists in Deer Park to see who mentions this.

Question 3

Question 4

What should I ask a therapist before booking?

Accepted Answer

A few questions can tell you a lot before you book. Ask how they work with Autistic clients and what a typical session looks like, since how they answer shows whether their approach suits you.

Question 5

Can I ask for sessions to run in a way that works for me?

Accepted Answer

It is reasonable to want sessions that work with how you communicate rather than against it. Say what helps, such as written notes, a set structure, or breaks, and ask how the therapist can accommodate it. On Alma, read profiles of therapists in Deer Park who work with Autistic clients and mention your preferences when you reach out.
