The Sachs Center is a full service boutique practice focused on the testing and treatment of ADD/ADHD and Aspergers in children, teens and adults. We go beyond labels, taking a holistic, person-centered approach to treatment. No labels, just individualized care and attention.
We don't see you as a diagnosis or set of symptoms, but rather as a person with strengths and weaknesses. We believe the client-therapist relationship is the key to real change. We will treat you with respect, building trust and working together to bring more joy and success into your life.
While our staff is versed in the latest science and research, we don't see our clients as a diagnosis or constellation of symptoms. We believe that everyone is unique, with different histories, circumstances and approaches to dealing with life.
The only reason I would say that is if I’ve seen how the cat react to their owner in negative ways on multiple occasions… some people really don’t know how to treat their pets 😅 yeah that’ to blunt
Can you tell me how to socialize when I haven’t been able to connect to anyone (make friends.) in almost 2 years. I moved to a new area and it’s really not my speed. It’s extremely slow here. I’m 50 ‘and was diagnosed with ADD a few years ago. Thank you.
This in combination with a strong sense of personal justice (another symptom of autism) can make people come off as extremely rude, especially if they have no idea they autistic. “Did you apologize?” “No. Why would I? I’m right, and she flipped out for no reason.”
That's exactly what I do! Except I've been telling myself that I'm going to feel better after for so long, that I just don't have as much anxiety about going anymore.
There's a differemce between not understanding social cues or putting your foot in your mouth as part of autism vs. using it as an excuse to just be mean to people and not apologoze or acknowledge what they did wrong.
Im autistic, I very often put my foot in my mouth especially when I was younger. And I used to not always notice. But if someone tells me or shows me i hurt their feelings, or someone else lets me know I hurt someone, i immediately move to apolygize and hopefully clear up where I was coming from so they know I wasnt trying to hurt them. For me it was having to stop trying to be funny especially in group settings, because I finally learned my brand of humor is too on target for most people and even if its funny to others, im not trying to burn people.
Um no.... we are GENUINELY sad when we find out we say something hurtful without meaning to. I'd feel AWFUL. I DO FEEL AWFUL pretty often bc I don't say the right thing. I always over apologize immediately.
I have asd level 2 and when i played netball, I offended a girl from the other team because she was tall, and i said, "You are very tall." She didn't shake my hand after the game and was aggressive 😂
Autistic pepple make friends with the cats, too. If advocating for the well-being of one og our friedns makes us a prpblem... I'm happy to be a problem.
It’s far too much work to form relationships with others so I forgo it altogether. I don’t even have to speak and people will find some way to be offended by me.
I mean… that’s a hilariously take on someone’s cat running away. Very much something I would say. You’re always going to have empathetic friends that lament your loss, but you have to laugh at life, also… it cuts the tension.
Everything is a diagnosis now. Not being socially well adjusted (or just being honest and straight forward, and, maybe, from New York) DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE AUTISTIC
It bafelles me how everyone know thinks they have autism for silliest of reasons and now we also are saying that being horrible person is just being autistic? That woman acted like a typical, shallow, extremly low empathy normie but yeah any signs of not behaving like the norm is autism. And so many women in the comments being like "yea, i am autistic too" no girl; no youre not
ADHD/Autism wife and ADD/DYSLEXIA/OCD husband we are in the middle of a divorce despite having 6 years of couples and individual counseling. It's exhausting! I do all the adulting for us. I am burnout and overwhelmed. He is unbothered. He doesn't know how to adult as a 42 yr old male.
I would bail on being this person friend just for the simple fact that, they made this whole situation about them and everyone has to change their plans because this person said something inconsiderate, yes it could of been and mistake and this person could be autistic but being autistic doesn’t make you act like this, she should of just went home on her own if the person they were gunna hang with didn’t wanna hang with them, their friend not liking her is not anyone else’s problem but the girl in the video
People think I'm rude. I just ask questions. Genuine ones. My best friend says it's the tone in which I say the things that piss people off....my husband thinks it's because I don't sugar coat the questions, just, why did your dad leave and never return? 😮 the fact that I don't cry when people I love die(apparently I'm a monster?)
This is just not acknowledging that your comments can be rude and off putting. This person is just giving off im entitled because i claim to have a issue. The fact she continues to go on like shes not the problem is a huge issue. Be accountable for yourself. Its not okay to be like that as a adult. Youve had years of human interactions..
