You know, I had a snarky thing typed out to respond and deleted this. I’m disappointed you hold this view of every HSE psychologist. Most of us train 10+ years to do the work we do. I stuck at it so long because I care. I think about the families I work with. I absolutely think about them when I see something that reminds me of them. I send them cards or make kids gifts when I finish working with them. I flitter my wages away buying books, stickers or other things that I think a kid will like in sessions. I’ve stayed till 1am in work pouring over ASD assessments to get them just right for a families. I cried when my waiting list was over 3 years and families rightly let all their anger out on me. I’ve driven hours per day around classrooms just to drop in and see how kids are getting on and check what I can help with. I practiced exactly the same when I was HSE psychologist compared private practice. I’m sorry you didn’t have a better experience. I know many colleagues across many services who could make money in much easier ways but stick around because they love what they do, be it ASD assessment, therapy or something else.

Three Questions:
Where were you when I need help?
Where were you when I asked for help with Aspergers and sent me away?
What took you so long that my family had to pay to get a private diagnosis, when I was approaching middle aged?

You dont have to do all those things for me, really you are too kind because I have a bookself of all those books too(I got all mine in the charity shop). All your professions had to do was to have a quiet word with the parents(Go see Prof Fitzgerald or Seamus Feehan in Cork). My parent were good people on the PTAA and school board but all the teachers kids got their kids diagnosed and the doctors got their kids diagnosed. This "cute hoor" approach doesnt help any of us in society. I was never on a waiting list for a diagnosis from the HSE, because I was too old. The family GP was a pediatrician told me I didnt have it after I showed her the report, then she couldnt spell it, when someone tore her a new one. Then she misspelled "Aspergers" with the report longside of her and had to get me to spell it. I am perfectly entitled to ask you what your qualification is based on my experience.

You have a fantastic time in the HSE/DoE/Colleges because you have no accountability to your clients. oh you do now? Where is my recourse for the way I have been treated over the years? 22 hours a week and off home early to what ever vice you part take in. Out early and full permanent and pensionable position. I am going to say the psychotherapist in the NLN did a brunt of the hard work and trust me I was hard work, but the rest of ye I have seen, couldnt be bothered.

I am dying to be corrected on this one.

Typical narcissist using autism as an excuse to treat people like dirt...seen it all before in my family. They're always the victim and everyone is out to get them and everything is always someone else's fault. Most women with undiagnosed autism tend to just muddle through and do their best and learn social skills and whatnot from the 'school of life/hard knocks', yet so many men with undiagnosed autism don't seem to be able to and turn out utterly entitled and toxic. Never, ever take responsibility for themselves or cut anyone else any slack (while expecting so much of it from others).

To know all that ye must have really screwed your brother over if he turned out like that. Unfortunately yeah all the cousins and aunts were asleep behind the wheel when I was suffering through life.

By the looks of it, it isn't even a diploma

"At the end of the Clinical Training session those students who have satisfied the requirements of the course will be awarded the Licentiate in Traditional Chinese Medicine qualification, along with the appropriate certificate.

The Licentiate is recognised by the Professional Register of Traditional Chinese Medicine (PRTCM) – the first regulatory body of Acupuncture and TCM in Ireland. The qualification is approved, accredited and validated by them."

Still had to sit an exam both practical and physical. Still had to write reports.
Course you skip over the other qualifications

I think its that learning to communicate and learning any language is difficult for people with Aspergers. Learning to speak is usually harder for most.

Not all but many have speech delays.

They are highly intelligent though. Just in another way.

Communication speech and language in general is hard for some on the Autistic spectrum.

You see that in the TV Movie "Temple Grandin" trying to learn French.
