“In many ways, diagnosis saved my life. And it’s no secret that disabled people need diagnosis in order to access potentially life-saving resources. But we should be working to undermine a system which withholds and gatekeeps resources from those who need them, as well as undermining the neoliberal-esque ideologies which don’t necessarily consider the health of the population to be much of a priority. I was always going to seek a diagnosis because I know how nesessary and validating it can be, but my goal is a world where that doesn’t need to be the case.” – Ember Green, Misinfo, Diagnosis & Autism Advocacy ft. @YoSamdySam
