Just got off a phone interview with a psychiatrist to discuss me having autism. It was terrible. He assumed a lot about me and kept getting hung up on "You had a traumatic childhood and now you're a sex worker". Does anyone have recs for sexworker-friendly psychiatrists?

A quicker way to let people understand me. I've been saying I probably have autism but having a diagnosis to back that up would be nice.

I had the diagnosis back in 2002 as a teen. Was basically like if the pieces of the puzzle were already there but they all came together. I am free to talk more in private if you want!

Wishing you luck with adult diagnosis, it’s a weird process.
