Ive Seen This Floating Around And Just Thought Id Add My Two Cents:

I’ve seen this floating around and just thought I’d add my two cents:

Having autism and not having your needs met is traumatic

Having schizophrenia and not having your needs met is traumatic

That does not mean you split from those disorders, if you have DID, it’s from trauma. Period.

Childhood trauma starts it, but after your brain learns that way of coping it can split over non-traumatic but stressful situations.

Stressful situations including psychotic episodes, and overstimulation meltdowns or long spans of hyperfixation in autism

These things don’t cause DID, but you can still split from it if it’s how your brain has learned to cope

Don’t invalidate your trauma or anyone else’s, it’s anti-recovery

Idk why DID is one of the only ones where there’s genuine discourse from people on whether or not you need trauma.

Like you guys do realize the continuum is not “systems-> systems with trauma”

The real continuum is “ptsd-> CPTSD -> OSDD-> DID”

Like the pre requisite to all of them is trauma.

Why is this even an argument???

*giant wind gust outside*

Me: “Don’t say it.”

My Brain:

I want to be really clear about something: Planned Parenthood has done more to prevent abortion than the pro-life movement ever has.
