> Is she writing a novel or an assessment?
Honestly... I suspect that she is a grad from that place across the bridge and she failed to learn proper assessment skills.
She is determined that I should relate my life story (only the bits that she thinks are relevant) in chronological order otherwise <quote> 'I get confused'. She doesn't do anything much in the way of 'and how did that make you feel'. I try and be helpful - say something about how I think this and that affected me... When I'm trying to be co-operative.
When I'm not trying to be co-operative I talk about whatever it is that I bloody well feel like talking about. Often rants about this and that (you know my posts, ha!). I would have thought... That the latter was fairly informative about me as a person. I am also taking risks. That she will jump all over me / may judge me for this and that. A little about some of my fears... About how I fear I'm turning anti-social or something since my time back in NZ...
She sees that... As a waste of time. As a side-track to her chronological assessment. She isn't wanting an assessment so much as a... Life history? I don't know. Then when she had to finish things up in the last session I got a bunch of tests thrown at me (some of them readily found on the internet). And I think the choronology made it to... The end of my undergrad years. Often she would ask me a question and then I'd answer it and then she would be like 'oh yes, and now getting back to the assessment' and I was like 'well you did ask'.
I just... Never felt like she actually heard ME. Or saw me at all, really. I think... She is an idiot, basically. She was incapable of understanding what I was saying about her tea-leaf reading. She has no comprehension of how listening to a person say what they wanted to say might reveal more about them and what is going on for them than any structured interview. Which she never had the focus to pull off, anyways.
I don't know what the f*ck her problem was.
> I have zero patience and I would have told her to her face that she doesn't know her as* from an assessment. I think you should ask her what the problem is, I mean, Dr. Clueless assessed me in 30 minutes and was mostly right. Yeah, I know I should change her name, but I like it.
Yeah. To start with I was skeptical about p-doc seeing me for 20 minutes and saying 'Autistic Spectrum'. I mean... It happens to be his favourite dx and he seemed to have made up his mind before he even saw me. But... Well... The more I think on it the more it seems to fit sorta somewhat. Best of the available options perhaps.
I phoned her yesterday and said I'd given her the 2 weeks she said it would take to do her assessment and now it was closer to 3 and I needed her to transfer me. She was like 'are you in crisis' and 'I didn't think it was important' and stuff. I got pretty f*ck*ng mad. I was like 'just do it already' emphatically. Then when she got that sparkly thing going on with her voice 'you know I said that it would take 2 weeks to do the assessment not that I would do the transfer in two weeks' (implication haha! I got you!) I barked 'just f*ck*ng do it already' and hung up.
Oh yeah... You are so cute and sparky you can derail me from my goals... I'll forget what the f*ck is important in life and just sit there paying $1.80 or what the f*ck ever per minute so I that I can listen to you coo on the telephone. ANd of course you are so busy doing sh*t like that to do your f*ck*ng job. holy crap.
Cutting the last tie to the f*ck*ng place.
I'll wait until next Thursday then go back to the new place. Say that I asked her to transfer me (she said she would email me and transfer me when the assessment was done) a month ago and that I'd phoned her last week...
Let them deal with her.
