Therapist Overview
You are sure your Asperger’s or ADHD diagnosis gets in the way. You struggle with social relationships, you have difficulties in making and keeping friends, and your anxiety is through the roof. You wish things were different . If only people could understand. You see how others have it so easy and you always wonder what you’re doing wrong. Socializing paralyzes you because you think that you’ll say the wrong thing. You feel stuck, unmotivated and your parents may not understand how to help you. You’re bright, but if you can’t make sense of things, how will you succeed? Everyone sees how smart you are, but no one sees you struggle. Imagine you’ve learned about how your anxiety works so it doesn’t get in the way. You’ve also learned social skills, so you’re starting to build friendships. Everyone is starting to see how truly amazing you are and you feel comfortable in sharing more now because you know the rules! Even though your amazing personality hasn’t changed, you feel a difference!
