My shrink asked me today which antipsychotic I preferred and then prescribed it to me. :)

She used to be a nurse. In fact, all of my doctors used to be nurses.

He looks EXACTLY like John Malkovich ( and I NEVER see the two of them together )

She has a son with AS, and she thinks that having AS is nothing "wrong". She has been positively surprised by some of my AS "qualities", and expected me to be able to join Mensa.

I haven't had a regular one in many years, though my last "official" shrink from eleven years ago was partially paralyzed from polio she had as a child.

I did see a therapist briefly at a clinic about 6 years ago. He was a very religious pro-life Catholic, and he diagnosed me with PTSD on the first visit.

My first shrink that I talked to all the time, every week, said I looked like his daughter and had posters of horses on his wall.

My psychiatrist seems gay but is married to a woman (he's a man).
My psychologist is gay and is married to another man.

I'm more intelligent than my shrinks have been.

Really.

Mine specializes in ASD which is a big help. She's about 80 miles from me (it's damn hard to find any shrink in the Twin Cities.) Since I only go there 2-3 times a year it's not a big deal. She also sent me to get an MRI since I have such a magnetic personality.

I harboured a crush for a very long time for my psychologist, who I saw on and off for nearly a decade. But then I realised it was all about transference. He was quite lovely though. He just didn't believe I was Aspie so I had to get referred to a specialist in ASDs. I often wondered if there would have been any prospects of involvement if we'd met in different circumstances.

And once, when I hadn't seen him for a few months, then I had a bit of a meltdown and needed to see him again, it took me a long time before I realised that he'd shaved his beard off. I could have told you immediately if he'd changed any of the pictures on his walls, or if he'd changed the layout of the room, or got new carpets or curtains. I spotted some discrepancy like that once, maybe a new picture, and he was so surprised. But my prosopagnosia is so bad that I didn't realise he'd shaved his beard off. :oops:
