Unfortunately it looks like it's a lost cause in Denmark. Most parties except for the far left are heavily in favour of backdoors or bans on encrypted communication services.

And most of the population "have nothing to hide".

There are newer types of CBT that are autism friendly/aware, but it's unlikely for your average therapist to 1; be trained in them and 2; be aware of, and able to spot autism in a patient.

I've had multiple therapists and psychiatrists where, despite them having many years experience I was their first autistic patient.

Perhaps it is different elsewhere in the world, but that's how it is in Denmark.

And (edit: traditional) CBT is widely known to not be effective (and in fact often harmful) for autistic individuals. There is no "winning" over autism, you can only learn to live with it, and its limitations.

I used to have the mindset of "not letting autism restrict me". It led to two rounds of severe burnout, depression, cPTSD, and anxiety, lasting multiple years, as well as severe skill loss.

As usual.

According to some parts of the medical world, the autism just vanishes into the ether on your 18th birthday.
