Therapy in English tailored towards autistic high functioning adults in Berlin?

I'm looking for a skilled English speaking therapist that has experience with neurodivergent clients. Have googled extensively, wrote everyone that seemed to fit my case, unfortunately without much luck so far(they're all full and no waiting list). Was curious to hear if anyone here knows about therapists/clinics I could contact? Private or public. Doesn't need to be "theautismclinic", a psychotherapist that happens to have experience within the subject is fine. In my case normal cbt isn't very helpful so I'm scouting for other options. It can also be online from somewhere else. Any advice/suggestions welcome. Curious to hear from you and happy if you could share your experience. Thank you :)
ngl this is a tough one in berlin, most nd-affirmative therapists are booked solid. you could try the ivy network, they have some english-speaking therapists who specialize in neurodivergence and take private insurance. also worth checking out the queer therapist collective, a few of them are autistic and do online sessions from outside berlin where waitlists are shorter. for public, praxis mollstraße near senefelderplatz had a therapist taking new patients last i heard but i think it was only for private pay
i know a few people have had luck with the "psychologists in berlin" facebook group, it's more active than you'd think and people post openings there sometimes. also there's a practice near u-bhf schönhauser allee called "praxis am gleimtunnel" that has a couple english-speaking therapists who do depth psychology instead of cbt, one of them specifically lists autism experience on their website. online wise, "betterhelp" is trash for this but "octave health" is a german platform that has therapists who actually understand nd stuff, they do english sessions and take public insurance which is rare
yeah finding nd-aware therapists in berlin is a nightmare, everyone's full. have you looked into the autism competence centers at the charite? they usually have a list of recommended therapists even if they dont do therapy themselves. also, for online options, there's a platform called "minddoc" that lets you filter by neurodivergence experience and english, i found someone through there after a few weeks of checking. if you're open to group stuff, "autismusberatung" in friedrichshain runs a social skills group for adults in english sometimes, they might know individual therapists too.
What is the correct spelling for a street name that appears differently on multiple signs in Charlottenburg?
Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.
if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point
honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
