I'm autistic and have seen multiple CBT therapists, even ones who specialize in providing it to autistic people. Hands down, this was the worst therapy modality for me, and anecdotally at least, I've encountered quite a few other autistic folks who feel the exact same way. I want medical research to catch up to what the community seems to be discovering on its own and actually invest itself in finding stuff that improves our lives, rather than make us more convenient for everyone else.
