Trying to look for a neurodivergent therapist today. Already annoyed with Psychology Today's website, which includes a pullquote on the search page that makes a therapist look like the explicitly wrote something about neurodivergency, but when you go to the main profile page for the therapist, the quote is not there.

What's happening is AI is generating a plausible pull quote from the list of "specialties" the therapist have, which is sometimes just a copy-paste of the index to the DSM.

Just more dishonest shit from the mental health industry.

Edit:

It fucking gets worse: I got the bait & switch from the practice manager. I look up someone because I want to see THAT person, and the practice manager will just act like SHE knows the best person for me to see, and it happens to be the person who has time in their schedule. Fuck that. Then the therapist I wanted to see didn't even take my insurance on top of it, though she was listed, so pretty fraudulent all around. AND THEN the practice manager recommends I just go to the directory of my insurance which is a TOTAL WASTE OF TIME because I've done it and you don't know: a) what the therapists specialty is b) if they are taking new clients c) if they see the public at all or attached to an institutions with a committed population (nursing home, etc.) d) if they are even fucking still practicing--got a call back from a doctor's wife explaining he retired years ago!

So fraud, disrespect, and sending me on a merry goose chase, all from my first attempt to get help. Goddamn the whole fucking profession is so disgustingly and obviously incompetent.

Anyway, found one person who is available and neurodivergent so hopefully that goes well.
