#ActuallyAutistic #AskingAutistics- what type of autistic are you?
I’m a stimmy, reclusive Autistic, who socializes in shot bursts, constantly tiptoeing on the edge of my next burnout because I’m all or nothing/have no off switch.

I try to get across to parents how damaging Cognitive behavioral therapy is, because even though I wasn't dx'd my parents put me in it for a bulk of my life. I'm doing what I can to be okay. It's hard but... I'm hopeful.
Can you tell me more about what's damaging regarding Cognitive Behavioral Therapy? I've had people suggest it to me for things like getting over my intense depression and self-hatred. It always felt like pseudoscientific bunk to me, so I avoided it, but what more can you tell me?
