What had been useful and meaningful for me is Bao’s concern in asking how do i see myself, my identity & how i view my autism. Nobody seemed to care before, and even psychiatrist kept asking me to change my behavior to fit in, without even trying to understand the reason behind my behavior or the inner conflict i had within myself. While i expressed that i want to be left alone in my own little world, Bao also made me understand & reminded me that each action has repercussion. During the session, I feel seen, heard and validated. I was tired of being dismissed by some psychiatrists & counselor before: for example, when i said it’s hard for me to understand social cues, i was told i had my expectation too high because everyone is struggling with social cues. He explained about my DASS21 score and i got the chance to better understand my current mental health state. I had done the same screening last month with OT but it wasn’t explained to me in details. Areas that could be improved i think for me, i wish to be given homework or a task after the session.
