[quote=Anonymous]Just because the therapist posted a frustrated opinion doesn’t mean they’re a bad therapist to the people they treat. We all know plenty of teens/young adults who have been coddled to the point they can’t handle living life outside of their home once mom/dad isn’t around to drive their entire day. A record number of college students move home because they can’t handle the problems of dorm life. The number of people with adhd/autism hasn’t increased, the ID of those issues have, but with it become the excuses by the parents over why their kids can’t do something. We see it here on dcum all the time. I have adhd and didn’t know it until I was an adult. I had to power through a lot of things and figure it out myself. I struggled a lot and wish I had been diagnosed earlier, but sometimes I think that maybe it was better for me to push through and not think of myself as someone with a special need or disability.

All that to say, don’t beat up on the therapist. Providers aren’t perfect, but what they say in private/anonymous situations doesn’t mean they’re bad at what they do in public. [/quote]
