I can give you an example that probably has not anything to do with the OP, but I once went to the doctor. I had basically rehearsed what I was going to say because if I didn't I would have a problem as I could not described the problem well otherwise.

I came there and I was not allowed to tell the story the way I wanted it. I was interrupted and told to tell it from the other end so to speak. But I could not just change since I had decided how to say things and I tried to explain that I had to tell it my way or I'd lose track and I would end up silent.

Still the doctor insisted on interrupting so everything ended up chopped up and I don't think I was ever allowed to get to the point of it. It just cost me money and I got nothing in return.

And yea, I think my different type of though processes should have been seen they same way as any physical handicap. However, mental handicaps are often frowned upon.

I have always told doctors never to touch me without warning me. So far I have had ZERO doctors telling me they are going to touch me. They just think I'm a nothing so they touch me anyway. I nearly hit one once because of it.
