That guy is really, really weird. And inappropriate. And unprofessional. It sounds like he made it all about him, and was more eager to be right (the yes! gesture) than to actually help you out. You're right about "Am I even here?" ....It sounded like he treated you as though you weren't even there.
I would have taken his inappropriate like ..everything....as a threat. I feel like he was trying to tell you he is battling his inappropriate feelings towards you.
“Slow to process” I totally get that. I can write complex essays and fictional narratives, but grasping people’s behavior in real time often escapes me. I retrospect, I go, Oh! They meant xyz. So frustrating. That psychologist needs therapy … and a new career. But he is right about you writing a book.
Could you please share the title of the novel about the woman with Asperger's? I question if that psychologist has healthy boundaries. Definitely sounds like he was projecting his personal situation onto you and thinking about himself and his own agenda. Maybe narcissistic traits? I'd be worried that he would start expecting stuff from me without communicating that to me, but that may just be my own trauma.
Sure. It's a trilogy featuring autistic lead characters written by an Autistic woman with an Asperger's diagnosis: The Kiss Quotient, The Bride Test, and The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang.

"Eager to be right" is a good point. I hadn't thought about that, but you're right.

@@shannantreasure Thanks. I added my reaction to what you described about the psychologist.
Just a thought, consider writing a book....
Hi, are you repeating from the video or making a suggestion? I can't tell.
