In therapy the counsellor use to reply to emails but now won't. I asked about it yesterday and he said not to encourage dependency. But I was left guessing why he wasn't replying. Is it me or is the ASD making it hard to understand the situation? Not knowing what is going on has made me anxious. Would you find it hard to understand because of your autism?
It's probably, both a case of professional boundaries and explicit rules.
I remember visiting a centre for physical and mental disabled people. And the all the staff were very friendly and helpful. However there were strict written orders that staff must not accept Facebook friendship requests from clients or anything similar.
