The place I want to do an online session with is not so responsive online and mainly (or solely?) does in-person visits, in a different country.

Looking for a recommendation for ASD/ADHD support, someone who is knowledgeable about meds (I already have mine), side effects, long-term usage, etc.

Thanks.

Whatever you do, do not give your money to BetterHelp. They're a fucking scam.

I haven't used it yet, but I saw a viral ad-in-the-form-of-an-uploaded-video on Instagram for "Done". It might be awful, I've no idea. 🤷‍♂️
