Season 3, Episode 32: Self-Diagnosis
This is a snow day episode (meaning I was able to record it since school was cancelled due to inclement weather). In this episode, I discuss pros and cons of diagnosing yourself with a mental health condition (while also introspectively exploring whether I should self-diagnose with autism). Please let me know your thoughts!
