Psychologists don't just refuse to work with neurodivergent people, if they did that would be a lot of patients. There is a lot more context to this statement that you haven't shared.

In my case, they did. Yes, of course there is more context.

I think you misunderstand. Psychologists may presumably refuse to work with individuals with this user's particular neurodivergence.

It's not exactly the same as a real life situation, but Tony Soprano's psychiatrist eventually refuses to work with him over some (perhaps misdiagnosed) sociopathy.
