      For extra context, various therapeutic methods do not work as well on neurodivergent people, especially people on the spectrum. CBT, one of the main go-to (adjunctive at least) therapies for example, is nearly useless for most folks on the spectrum.

      So it may be that their therapists discovered they were not equipped to help op with their issue(s).

      Psychologists don’t just refuse to work with neurodivergent people, if they did that would be a lot of patients. There is a lot more context to this statement that you haven’t shared.

        I think you misunderstand. Psychologists may presumably refuse to work with individuals with this user’s particular neurodivergence.

        It’s not exactly the same as a real life situation, but Tony Soprano’s psychiatrist eventually refuses to work with him over some (perhaps misdiagnosed) sociopathy.
