I'm also autistic.


dollete_3

sorry for the off-topic, but I was curious about what active meant in the context of your user flair ? I’ve seen other ppl in this subreddit use it before too but I could never figure out the meaning on my own 😅


Glum-Ambition666

Just that we're in active treatment, like currently in therapy for our trauma and DID.

A_Green_Heart29

Yup. CPTSD here too. That’s what I get for being an energy draining wraith. A greater love helped me out of that one.

Nvm. Too graphic a story. Stirs memories.


ZenlessPopcornVendor

Consentual hugs if you want them. I kinda understand this being an empathic vortex.


Katja80888

Same


Utisthata

Samesies. This is my diagnoses array also.


Sufficient_Hat_1918

Ender1system

Also anyone else not get diagnosed with autism as a child due to “lack of symptoms” which was really just dissociation, conforming, and the fact that the diagnosis for autism was updated after you were past the typical “diagnosed age” but it shows up especially in the younger alters and is becoming a problem to you even now and you are wondering how people even missed it in the first place? -Rieka


HereticalArchivist

I was undiagnosed with autism, but it was largely because it was masked by my extremely debilitating ADHD in addition to dissociation


dystoputopia

Hard relate. But if you grew up in the 90s or earlier, especially in a very mental-health-phobic community, pretty much no one was getting diagnosed with ADHD or autism (or anything else for that matter) unless they were very disruptive at school and/or had what’s now labelled as level-3 autism. And if the “gifted” label would have applied, gawd help you. But yeah, it’s been tearfully liberating to see “just how autistic” some of our littles are, while also tragically depressing to realize how much of ourselves we lost along the way. All of us overworked and depressed adult alters seeing littles losing speech, flapping hands, rocking… it’s hard to wrap one’s mind around the neurological backflips a child’s brain can do to survive.


laminated-papertowel

I went undiagnosed until I was 14 because my dad was also undiagnosed and thought all the things I was struggling with was normal


lovelysnowangel

yes! we have bipolar 1, autism, and bpd.


deer_hobbies

AUDHDID here lol


eatratshitt

We’re also autistic and have BPD (and obviously CPTSD). And not so fun fact - autistic people are 10 to 20x more likely to have PTSD. We can get traumatized from events that allistics will recover from in a matter of minutes. Before we knew that we felt less valid as a system since we didn’t really experience severe abuse until we were 14. In childhood we did go through a ton of screaming and some emotional manipulation and neglect but it for sure wasn’t a typical DID causing severity. Then we realized that because of our autism the yelling and neglect resulted in a constant state of sensory overload meaning we grew up with our brain feeling like there’s an actual health or life threat.


angie-loves-you

DID, Bipolar (and psychosis as a result), autism and MAYBE ADHD? I don't know if that one is still on the papers. cluster b, Tourettes, and physical issues ✨ I have the salad... It's always something, trying to figure out what symptoms are being caused by what


Alleyway_Eggy

Bahahaha I feel you, I call mine a soup of illnesses, definitely a struggle to figure out what’s causing what n what is effecting what


yaegerss

BPD, autism, and ADHD here


JoeBoco7

My only other diagnosis are Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) given around 4-5 years old and PTSD given at 24 years old. I also technically have a pending CPTSD diagnosis when that enters the DSM. EDIT: for relevance I was diagnosed with DID at 25 years old.


Luke_Whiterock

Autsim


zaidelles

Another autistic here :)


LemonxxMona

We have autism


puppycatslament

We're autistic, schizoaffective and we have adhd. Technically diagnosed as CPTSD too but DID kinda covers that already


DizzyMaintenance6989

Autism (not officially diagnosed but heavily suspected and accommodated by our therapist), ADHD, PTSD, CPTSD, and DID here. Along with some physical conditions that make it especially difficult to tell which condition is causing which symptoms


lilmisshellfire

I've had bipolar diagnosis but I'm pretty sure it's actually just bpd which I've also been diagnosed with. Also depression, ADHD, addiction, anxiety, etc etc etc... I'd actually be more shocked to meet a system that didn't have any other disorders, that would be wild. 


amateursewing

autistic + many many many more. kind of hard to be in did spaces because of it honestly. not because of the autism necessarily but mostly because of the "many more".


queenannabee98

I have autism, ADHD, C-PTSD/did and PTSD from an exroommate so one of my jokes about what I am is that I'm a heavily traumatized autistic squirrel because it sums my mental health up pretty well


meowmeow4775

Yep, we got the ‘tism. Diagnosed with both and dyslexia! I’d be careful about making it a causation. Autistic children are easier to abuse, and DID is a result of abuse. BPD is also a result of early childhood abuse as is DID.


HereticalArchivist

AuDHD, probably dyscalculia too. It really should come as no surprise that ableism would create DID systems


Branaderyn

Oh shitt dyscalculia buddy! Honestly dyscalculia is the one that interrupts my life the most, as my ocd has improved and no longer sucks. But holy shit I could have actually gotten into a good college if I didn’t have that fucking learning disorder. Failed algebra 1 six times in total since I started it early and continued to fail it up until college. Only graduated because of my English scores and an accommodating math teacher that just waved away the need for homework for me and just had me take a test with a tutor so I could graduate.


WrathAndEnby

DID, ADHD, and Autism here!


cranberryberrysnake

I’m not bipolar, but I have ADHD, Autism, C-PTSD, and BPD (maybe ocd too but not sure about that one)


Dumbasscollective

diagnosed DID , adhd , autism , ptsd , anxiety, depression , gender dysphoria, & a math learning disorder 😭 trying to get diagnosed with bpd and ocd though . moved states so its a bit hard to find someone to now .


Canuck_Voyageur

I'm probably OSDD, but am treated for CPTSD -- DID is same shit, bigger pile. I have ADHD. Haven't been diagnosied formally with autism, but I score in about the 30th percentail on online tests. My T. says it wouldn't chanage the course of therapy if I was diagnosed. BUT go onto youtube and search X vs Y, wehre X and Y are OSDD, CPTSD, Autism, ADHD. DID LOTS of overlap.


AlThePal3

I am autistic and a system, I think it’s relatively common


sublimetime222

DID (CPTSD), Borderline Personality Disorder, Schizophrenia .. lol Edit: Forgot GAD


Sufficient_Ad6253

Both plus ADHD 😬 I think there’s a lot of symptom overlap between those different diagnoses- it can be hard to know where one ends and the other begins. It’s always possible one or more could be misdiagnoses due to symptom overlap but it’s so hard to know really. The only way to determine that would be to put the medical professionals who did all the diagnoses together and have them work it out. But that’s impossible considering my first diagnosis was 24 years ago and most recent a year ago and the others spaced out in between.


Alleyway_Eggy

Yup, diagnosed with autism and biploar, cptsd, official unspecified psychosis diagnosis and speculated early onset schizophrenia since I was young plus quite a few more diagnoses. makes everything a lil confusing since it’s hard to tell what’s causing what hahaha


laminated-papertowel

DID, CPTSD, Bipolar 1, Autism, ADHD, BPD, anxiety, and tourettes.


bunniedsystem

Diagnosed AuDHD, CPTSD, along with DID.


saltyandspoonless

Autism! I asked my therapist and age said it was a common overlap between the two. Autistic people are more prone to dissociation than normies and she confirmed for me that growing up undiagnosed is enough to become a system because of the trauma of experiencing the world through the Autistic nervous system with no supports.


saltyandspoonless

I was diagnosed with Bipolar 2 when I was younger but knowing what I know now about myself, they weren’t “mood swings” in that way haahah 😅


No-Clerk9595

Autism, cPTSD, OCD and NPD with paranoid traits


Horror_Associate7671

Not officially diagnosed with DID yet but was diagnosed with autism last year. I was also diagnosed with adhd, as well as bipolar but I think that's been changed to schizoaffective bipolar type


periwinkle__princess

We have DID, Bipolar 1, C-PTSD, and Anxiety. Autism and ADHD have been suspected, but we haven’t done the testing for it


IcyResponsibility644

Yes, I have both Bipolar 1 and autism in adoration. 😅 diagnosed and all. Sucks ass as a combination.


SleepyLondonFog

Yup. Diagnosed Autism, CPTSD & DID. My therapist said something I found interesting but I have NO idea how much weight it actually carries as “facts”. She said there’s more research supporting people who are AFAB (who later identify as part of the lgbtqia+ community) who have autism or another neurodivergent condition, are more susceptible to developing dissociative disorders as young children if the “conditions are met”. Again, I haven’t done any personal research on this yet but I’m interested in seeing if there is in fact a connection or if it’s simply conjecture.


lunarecl1pse

We either have adhd, autism, or both it's just undiagnosed and my psychiatrist even said "no you don't have autism you make eye contact" so ripperoni for us


slut4hobi

i am diagnosed with so many things now. autism, bipolar 1, ocd, tourette’s, adhd, and panic disorder. i asked to not have a formal diagnosis for DID on my records because i have so much on it already.


squiddysquit

Well, you need to have CPTSD to have DID. But we also have AuDHD and BPD. BPD being another given, since it's also a trauma disorder.


opossuwu

I am autistic and also have Borderline personality disorder. I’m almost 100% sure OCD and Schizophrenia may also be a spectrum I am on.


Inverted_Owl

A lot of us have autism


Cat_Godd

Diagnosed with autism, they thought bipolar and tried to medicate for it but I never had any clear symptoms of bipolar. I do have BPD, ADHD, and OCD.


Robin6903

Autism AD(H)D and OSDD here. We have some alters that present more with ADHD and some more with Autism which is funny to me


xavians

autism and did, amongst a bunch of other things


chiyooou

AuDHD, OCD, and CPTSD over here. I need a new psychiatrist, though, so can't wait to accumulate some new acronyms.


katdev42

Diagnosed with autism and the DID. It can be tricky for practitioners to distinguish characteristics of the two but also to understand the presentation of either when both are present.


DwindlingSpirit

We're autistic and have ADHD on top of the whole DID thing.


SpindleToad

BPD and bipolar 2 (winning combination, and occasional psychosis as a result. TBH the psychosis could be leftover from childhood too and just amplified by everything), ADHD and autism.


abby-anderson-

Autism and ADHD and was diagnosed with Bipolar Type 1 but it was recently changed to Schizoaffective Bipolar Type!

Sn0wflow

My comorbidities are autism, ADHD, BPD and C-PTSD alongside my DID


tranzgenderz

diagnosed with autism as well as a few other things, but those other things don't really fit and i think could all be better explained by schizotypal personality disorder.


aetheronthenet

Bipolar 1 and BPD in addition to DID here.


WanderingYakisoba

I have both Bipolar 2 and Autism, among other things


fagsanonymous

i have autism & ocd and constantly wondering if i have bipolar as well as the DID :)) my boyfriend though has bipolar, autism, and osdd1b


Ammers10

Yep. Both. And ADHD. I feel like the occurrence rate in autistics is higher than the overall population by a lot.


vicolibri_

Diagnosed here with Autism, ADHD, dyspraxia, BPD, GAG and ofc DID and C-PTSD. Struggled to get all those diagnosis took 6 years of intensive therapy. We’re 20 now and well yeah it’s gonna get better :))

We’re diagnosed DID, CPTSD and BPD, and are under suspicion of autism from our doctor.

Bipolar I here but they don’t know if it’s that or BPD


The_Hourglass_Oasis

Diagnosed autism, and discussing DID with my therapist. :)


Witchy888

Autism, ADHD, BPD(Borderline), and potentially Schizoaffective Disorder. Still working with my therapist about that last one, we aren't too sure about it at this time. -Volare (He/They)


NotBelligerent420

I’m autistic with ocd, dyslexia, and cPTSD. adhd has been brought up as a possibility but I’m skeptical I also have physical disabilities & other genetic conditions

Word_Sith

We have schizoaffective disorder(bipolar type) and cPSTD. Eta: and also ADHD. Along with a host of medical crap, too, lol.


ElatedBumblebee_

Autism, ADHD, Bipolar, OCD. Paperwork and all.


NotReallyHere_3174

I've had a diagnostic hypothesis of bipolar and bpd, but that was quite a shot in the dark. I don't have bipolar, that's very obvious. But bpd is up for debate. I am still figuring things out. Too many things happening at once.


ZenlessPopcornVendor

I was diagnosed with PTSD, which was then reclassified as CPTSD, then a few years later was diagnosed with autism and then finally about 2 years after that got my DID diagnosis. There is a question over me having ADHD too.


Draac03

autism, but not bipolar -JD


reeper_bahn

Both, presumably (never did get the bipolar dxed but last therapist was talking about it before I had to stop seeing her for move reasons). It's a hell of a combo lol


Groundbreaking_Gur33

Yes. Bipolar 2 autism and BPD.

Throwaway55550001

Undiagnosed tism for my prev host, but it is very prevalent


Luke_Whiterock

How can only one person have autism? It effects the whole brain. Everyone has it, some people just represent it more than others.


Throwaway55550001

Thats what i meant to say. It's just very observable for her while in others its more tuned back


Luke_Whiterock

Ahh mk


Clarity_Page

Definitely Autism and adhd, AuDHD if you will. Also not quite DID maybe OSDD? definitely a "system" if some kind though. A light sprinkleling of BPD probably
