005 What’s the deal with self-diagnosis?

In this episode Kari talks about self-diagnosis, traditional diagnosis, and various factors to consider when you’re approaching the subject; including that traditional diagnostic system is inherently ableist, white supremacist, and patriarchal.  The values of listening to others’ lived experience and reflecting on how this matches your own experience can ONLY be valuable.
