mh-, ableism
Lost the doctor roulette for the first time in a while, and ended up with a psych to whom I had to explain in no uncertain words that no, autistic folks do not 'lack empathic ability' and that it is unreasonable to expect autistic folks to always be the ones to adapt
Only a one-off appointment so it's not a super big deal, but I would've preferred to spend my spoons elsewhere

But also I am *extremely* the wrong person to say this sort of shit to, you *will* get lectured whether you're a licensed psych or not 😬
(They did seem a bit uncomfortable by the end of the appointment)
