I'm a graduate student, and I just completed my first externship. I would love to say that it was a lovely experience. However, it was anything but that my supervisor gained my trust in the beginning, and then as soon as I confided to her that I had a learning disability, that I was neurodivergent, she quickly used that against me, and because she had never that she knew have worked with a neurodivergent individual before, and that somehow made me Like ill, equipped to be an SLP, and that I was not meeting her expectations. Following this, I was met with lots of passive aggressiveness, and even when speaking to my university's coordinator, she pretty much told me that I need to suck it up and meet my supervisors expectations. So that was very challenging, because it was a very toxic environment. I often felt a lot of anxiety, and I wouldn't eat. I became very depressed. I felt like I couldn't trust anybody, and it made me scared that there was nobody in our office that I could turn to. Yeah. My supervisor often spoke ill of everybody, all of her colleagues, my program, my programs, coordinator and staff me, it's like when you'd walk into like lunch and like everybody suddenly stopped talking when you're there because they were obviously speaking ill about you that happened to me often felt very uncomfortable all the time. I felt like I didn't belong, and that's because I didn't belong in that space. The kicker is she would often hide my back record Snapchats of me when I was trying to manage, struggling to manage a behavior instead of helping. So she gets done did and make fun of me and the patient, and she was often caught doing this, like, taking recordings and sending them of patients, which is highly inappropriate, but it was happening as I mentioned, like I was very depressed, like, I'm still trying to process it all, and it's like, I feel very strongly about this, like, I don't want another student to have to go through this, because it's awful.
