Thanks, that helps to know! Dr. T suggested I watch one episode and see how I feel. Part of why he suggested it is that I'd said D had filled out this "4th-grade memories" packet, and where it asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, she'd said "doctor." I imagine she just picked something random, but I was crying to Dr. T saying that I knew she probably could never be that (I mean...we just took her off diploma track--though we could theoretically change our minds on that any time).

He said how in "Love on the Spectrum," one of the helpers (I forget in what context, like an aide? Social worker? Something like that) for a character on the spectrum was autistic herself. And how that person could be especially helpful because she understood from personal experience. So that there's probably a lot of opportunity, like D could potentially eventually work helping someone else on the spectrum.

I feel like that was all worded really confusingly, but it was a pretty emotional session (I think because it was her last day of school?), and I feel like I have no brain power left ....which is bad, because I have work to finish up!
