Just published our latest video - about an alter that had been hiding inside for 30 years and we only just discovered.

Just published a sensory friendly version of our previous video - discusses why we have alters and if we could survive without them.

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.…

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. 😶

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.

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.

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

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/
Great article on developmental #prosopagnosia.

Fascinating article. Wondering if it links to #DID - why would some #autistic people go on to develop both #anxiety & DID?

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.
ALT Picture of a face with sad expression representing the main personality. Colourful characters representing alters are on the side. Text on the image saying go away, you don’t exist and I don’t want you.
