2ex’s parents used to pull him from therapy after a few sessions if he didn’t immediately change or they didn’t like something innocuous the therapist did or said. It did a real number on him—he’d feel safe and it would be jerked away.

Yeah, seen D 3 times, me and H twice. I guess I just worry she doesn't have the right skill set to work with her. She tends to seem unsure of herself. Hesitant in choosing her words (H noticed this as well). And I think I'm a little bothered that she used "autistic" in reference to D (today and some before), but I know that's a controversial topic in the autism community, what terms to use. Dr. T will always just say "on the spectrum" or maybe has a couple times referred to "her autism" but more in the sense of "with her autism, she has x to deal with." So maybe I'm just used to that... I don't know. It sort of feels like "disabled person" vs. "person with disability" to me.
ETA: I think ex-MC also always used terms like "on the spectrum." I know he worked with some teens and adults who are.
