My wonderful sister is a professional therapist. Today she said to me that she's been wondering how to address the fact that trans, disabled, Autistic, & ADHD people spend quite a proportion of their therapy educating the therapist. 💘#AskingAutistics #inclusion #mentalhealth— #KatyElphinstone (@KatyElphinstone) July 7, 2022
