My Psychiatrist acts like she doesn't know me (self.neurodivergent)

A couple of days ago, I met with my Psychiatrist for the second time. It's my first time seeing one.

She had put me on some medications on the first visit. During the second visit, she said things like, "I cannot believe I did that." and, "Sorry, I'm dealing with some family issues if I seem aloof."

How am I supposed to react to this? Is this typical?

It took me 5 months to get in with her. There aren't very many openings where I live. That's part of the problem. I will take the advice to see how the next session goes. It's not until mid-July. Perhaps it'll all be settled by then. It was just eating at me that she acted confused about my treatment and mentioned her issues.

During the sessions, she's always typing. How could she not know what we did last time? She must be taking notes.
