Therapists can't treat autism.

That is like going to a car mechanic and telling them you want them to build a house for you.

@Communist_Single_Mom @WashedOutGundamPilot The "treatment" for autism is learning how to be more aware of social cues and how to interact with others better. That is indeed not a therapy thing, but just a series of everyday trials you have to overcome until you learn how to not be so spergy.

I know this from my own life (probably) having Asperger's. And even if you are not an actual autist, if you have the same struggles, the remedy is the same. So an official diagnosis is just a formality.

Autism therapy would look like:
Yes, they are really all just liars.
No, they really don't know it.
Yes, they really care about what others thing.
Yes, they are in fact obsessed with feelings.
