Therapy or counselling for Aspergers adult - recommendations

NAS68947

Hi, my son has Aspergers, graduated this year and finding it very hard to look for work.  He's now become extremely depressed and we suspect has had this condition for about two years.  He wants to do some remote therapy or counselling but I just don't trust that IAPT will have anyone with autism specificity.

Is it ok to ask for personal recommendations, via PM if necessary?   I tend to look for reviews online but with the therapists that are coming up on the NAS services directory, I just can't get a feel for whether they are any good.  Don't want someone unscrupulous or incompetent to impact  the situation, my son is quite vulnerable.

Thanks

Parents

  • Thanks so much Jenny for your kind advice.  Unfortunately I am going to have to do the research myself as one of my son's issues is "admin".  Any admin and particularly researching new stuff on the internet sends him into a meltdown.  I'll take up these references then if I find a good site, put him on to it.

    Thanks again!
