Why Talk Therapy Doesn't Always Work for Autistic/ADHD People [CC]

Talk therapy isn't effective for a lot of people with neurodevelopmental disorders. Why is that? And what can we do about it to make it better?

(Disclaimer - therapy may still work for you! Please don't use this video as justification to not even try! It's more of a "if it wasn't effective for you, you are not alone or weird" and a "what can the industry do to try and improve itself" than a "don't do therapy" thing)

Note: This video is several years old. Disability conversations and scientific information are constantly evolving, so older videos may contain information or thoughts that have been reevaluated since their original posting date (and/or may have been outdated at the time and I still had things to learn). I am slowly working to re-make older somewhat out-of-date videos, this may be one of them, but please watch with this in mind!
Also please note that I made this pre-transition, I use they/them pronouns now :)
