027 Raging about When Your Medical professional Doesn’t Want to Label Things, Babe.
In our continued efforts to get formally diagnosed and seek professional support and services as neurodivergents, we have a LOT of rage about the entire system, particularly how so many medical professionals seem adverse to diagnosis as they don’t want to “label” you or “put you in a box,” even if that’s what YOU want.

We talk about “fork theory,” a new theory by TikTok-er @catiosaurus) that Callie discovered which is specifically for neurodivergent folks.

Main Topic: When Medical Professionals Are Too Lax About Diagnoses
This is a loose, free-form rant about our rage over not being diagnosed because we’ve had medical professionals and healthcare workers who thought “labeling” ourselves was a bad thing and therefore thought our attempts to find a name for our struggles and experiences was a thing to be discouraged. Now, we’re both facing nearly insurmountable barriers to diagnosis and treatment.

Callie [00:00:55] Today, we are doing a, hopefully cathartic rant about the process to get a diagnosis and why all of this talk over why people have to get a diagnosis is like really fucking ablest and shitty.
Nichole [00:01:15] Yep. And we’re going to connect what we see as a trend with medical professionals who are like, “Who needs a diagnosis? Like why label things, babe?” as fucking infuriating on many levels. So it’s going to be a free form rantisode for all of you, which I know is always a crowd favorite. But first, before we get into that, Callie was going to pop her top, her lovely pink top over a Dr. Drew reaction to a Tik-Tok.
Callie [00:01:51] Yeah. Although, so I was trying to -.
Nichole [00:01:54] Look at how cool your mom’s are by the way. We’re talking about Tik-Tok, we’re so with it.
