Recently I finished an assessment which indicates that I likely have Asperger's. I don't have the final results yet, but my therapist was given a synopsis. I saw my therapist for the first time since she received it tonight.

After I arrived, she asked me a few quedtions about how it went and then read a few parts of the synopsis to me.

One of the recommendations was to refer me to a specific psychiatrist, which she wanted to try and get done as soon as possible, so with my permission she called and left a message with her. But then she started talking about how its not good to see more than one mental health professional at once, and if the psychiatrist was going to do therapy as well that I should either stop seeing her (current therapist) or put it on hold until later.

This seems reasonable so far, but then she started talking about how she hasn't treated anyone with Asperger's before. And she repeated that I would need to make a choice between seeing her and the psychiatrist. And then she mentioned something about how she ethically had to tell me this. She finished the session by saying that "the door is always open here". I was sad while she was telling me this, but I figured at the time that it was because I had things that I wanted to talk about but didn't get the chance. This session went totally different than any before.

On the drive home I think I pieced it together. I may be wrong but she thinks that I would be better off seeing someone else.

I feel horrible right now. She has helped me more than anyone ever has. I had hoped she would want to continue with me.

Am I seeing this right? I think she is giving a mixed message.

I've never contacted her outside of sessions, but I have her email. Should I ask for clarification as to what is going on? I don't see her again until mid January.
