I think a lot of therapists dont have as much experience helping aspergers or high gunctioning autism as they do with say alchohalism or anger management because they have more experience with those problems. I am lucky in that I have a very experienced therapist.
I also think (this may sound stupid) that when you are in crisis mode or have difficult problems that they can give you easy answers about they seem like geniuses, but the higher funtioning you are, the more your problems seem like just problems a NT would have, but they dont understand how much harder it is on our confidence in ourselves than it is for an NT person.

^That makes perfect sense to me, and it doesn't sound stupid. Our family doctor hasn't done anything for many years to see whether my dad has Asperger's, but I figured out that he does a long time ago.
