My parents make me see this counsellor the first time I saw him he told me he has autisim I was like ok. I already don't feel comfortable talking about depression so I really haven't yet. But I did bring up physical abuse(getting beat in the face/ head/ back for 12 years by a certain family member) the counsellor(don't know if autisim makes him a jerk or what), said "you probably did something to deserve it" I called him screwed up and told him no one deserves to get beat with belts in the face just because they have a family member with anger/ bipolar issues. Why are autistics like this? Other cousellor a few years ago my parents made me see he told me it was not right I only brought it up with this new one because he asked if I liked hanging out with a certain family member. Why I even had to bring the abuse up because when I told him no I do not like hanging out with this family member he kept questioning me why. He also keeps trying to get me to join age inapropriate groups to make friends. If I'm 17 I do not see why I should join a group where everyone in it is 30 to 50 year olds.
