Sometimes I don’t want to have alters and I want to be on my own, without them. And then I remember how much they help me and how I am so much stronger with them. I fluctuate between the two positions but with therapy we learn to understand and value each other.

Fascinating article. Wondering if it links to #DID - why would some #autistic people go on to develop both #anxiety & DID? Association of Amygdala Development With Different Forms of Anxiety in Autism Spectrum Disorder - PubMed pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35341582/

I just signed the campaign calling on Sir Jeremy Hunt MP to back the ambitious plan to give the #NHS the staff it desperately needs. Will you join? 38d.gs/ml8w

8 years ago today, my 22-year-old daughter Alice died whilst sectioned on a MH ward, after 5 months of abysmal & utterly reprehensible failings in care & safety on every level. In 2016 a criminal investigation began & her inquest was suspended. 1/

Our new video is on our channel now. Even though I have been diagnosed with #DID for a long time I still have mixed feelings about having #alters. If I ignore my alters will they go away? youtu.be/wM0iogxAKpM via YouTube

Not sure what to make of this. Would autistic people still want this outcome if they were better supported and included? Find it quite disturbing. cambridge.org/core/services/…

Did the questionnaire… already have a formal autism diagnosis so not all that surprising that the questionnaire results strongly suggest autism. I prefer the questions asked in this questionnaire to the judgemental medical ones.

I basically assumed that childhood was a terrible experience for everyone. I didn’t realise that not everyone finds the usual demands of childhood impossible and can’t cope with the lack of safety and autonomy. This belief was one of the reasons I didn’t have children. 😶

One of the most crucial articles you could read about #autism research: How ridding research of ableist framings of what autism is leads to greater scientific accuracy, not less. Please spread this link. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Just published a sensory friendly version of our previous video - discusses why we have alters and if we could survive without them. youtu.be/yNhxzrSul3g?si…

Just published our latest video - about an alter that had been hiding inside for 30 years and we only just discovered. youtu.be/ZWmaaMu9qH0?si…
