Way too much experience, sadly.<\/p>\n<p>My children, my wife, and I have all engaged with therapists. Our daughters are Neurodiverse and from the foster-adopt system. They have been to see counselors with master&rsquo;s degrees, psychologists, and psychiatrists. Susan and I have received training from therapists to support our daughters. We have also had couples counseling, and I saw an educational psychologist many years ago.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Only psychiatrists have proved useful, and their expertise is in prescribing medications. The girls continue to receive medical interventions for their diagnoses, especially ADHD.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Undeniably, ADHD can be treated<\/strong><b> with medications.<\/b> We&rsquo;ve also observed the benefits of medications for other mental health diagnoses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, I also dislike medicating our daughters. Our goal remains a gradual elimination of medications as the girls mature and learn strategies for addressing their Neurodiverse traits. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Talk-based therapies were useless for our family.&nbsp;Yes, some people benefit from excellent therapists. Not us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Worse, the therapists sometimes suggested ABA and behavioral modification approaches to &ldquo;help&rdquo; the girls be more &ldquo;normal.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I dislike and distrust behaviorism, especially Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), as a way to change autistics so they don&rsquo;t upset their caregivers so much. That&rsquo;s really the point of ABA: making the parents and educators more comfortable. I&rsquo;m autistic. Our oldest is autistic. We don&rsquo;t need to be cured.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I also have little faith in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2015\/10\/01\/health\/study-finds-psychotherapys-effectiveness-for-depression-overstated.html\">talk-based therapies<\/a>. Medications have proved to be about as effective in meta-analyses of studies. That doesn&rsquo;t mean people don&rsquo;t benefit from having someone to listen, but I certainly doubt there&rsquo;s some magic to these &ldquo;neutral&rdquo; friends for hire.<\/p>\n<p>Therapists supposedly know the right questions to ask. They have been trained to guide people toward truths. I don&rsquo;t buy it.&nbsp;The scary truth is that science doesn&rsquo;t have great treatments for most mental health conditions that lack a clearly identifiable cause. We have a shallow understanding of how the human brain works.<\/p>\n<p>I do believe in neurological differences, and there&rsquo;s no doubt mental health can be supported by medical interventions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Neurodiverse families often find therapists don&rsquo;t understand that we don&rsquo;t want to be &ldquo;cured&rdquo; of our autism, ADHD, or other differences. We simply want to develop healthy coping strategies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The headline for this blog post probably evoked a strong reaction.&nbsp; Notice that I did not write, &ldquo;Therapy is Junk Science.&rdquo; The qualifier &ldquo;often&rdquo; clarifies my view, which is based on too much experience.
