In today's video I wanted to use Madisyn Brown's recent and now deleted video about autism to talk about why the topic of diagnosis and selfdiagnosis is challenging to discuss, the problems and helpful uses of mental health diagnoses, and the intersection of ableism and capitalism.
If you choose to make comments critiquing Madisyn's video below, please be aware of how our society is often more critical of black women when they make mistakes. There is no liberation without collective liberation.

About Critical Healing Moment:
Hey everyone, my name is Vi and Critical Healing Moment is a personal project that bridges healing, organizing, and social work through a critical lens to inspire others and build our capacities to take care of each other. I envision a world where we have the tools to take care of each other’s emotional and social needs outside of formal institutions of care.
Among many things I am an MSW student, community organizer, avid bullet journaler, budget lover, amateur gardener, overall creative, and cat mom.
