no one should force you to:

switch.

tell them who is fronting.

give them your alter count.

tell them what trauma caused your CDD.

go to therapy if you are not ready yet.

list your alters' names, ages or roles.

change the language you prefer to use for your experiences (unless that language is genuinely harmful).

assign/have a host alter.

go searching for your trauma if you do not remember it.

forgive those who hurt you if you do not want to.

disclose an introject alter's source.

be open about your system/alters.

hide your system/alters.

use PK or SP.

use plural language when you prefer to be treated as one.

use singular language when you prefer to be treated as multiple.

if someone expects you to do something, you do not have to do it just because some other pwCDDs are fine with it. you deserve autonomy & the ability to choose what you will/won't reveal or do. no one should take that from you. 🤍

HOW AUTISM CAN INTERACT WITH A COMPLEX DISSOCIATIVE DISORDER

higher rates of introjection - this is something commonly spoken about in the online CDD community, meaning it is a shared experience even if there is little proper medical research on the topic. however, it has been observed that some autistic pwCDDs have more introject alters (specifically fictional introjects - sometimes called 'fictives') than their allistic counterparts. this may be due to hyperfixation on fictional media, or splitting alters sourced from special interests.

splitting due to overwhelm - meltdowns, shutdowns and other reactions to overstimulation in autistic people can lead to splitting new parts, as these situations can be highly stressful.

autistic traits differing per alter - since autism is a neurodevelopmental disability that affects the entire brain, every alter will have some variation of ASD. however, different alters may struggle with/experience different autistic traits! where one alter may struggle more with, say, language and communication skills, another alter may be more proficient in that area. however, the second alter may then struggle instead with a compulsive need for strict, unbroken routines. this is how the spectrum can present differently in different alters.

unpredictable social situations and the stress of social interaction can cause more switching - as social situations can be more stressful for autistics than our allistic counterparts, it should be noted that these can be triggers for rapid switching! we may rapid switch in order to find a part that is best suited to handle the situation, which can end in switching multiple times as a lot of autistic people struggle to cope in uncomfortable social situations, such as at school/work, during conflicts, or at events. (written with input from @kityenok; thank you!)

semi-verbality, verbal shutdown and abilities to communicate varying per alter - in autistics with variable ability to communicate, the proficiency at communication can vary between alters! in semi-verbal/semi-speaking pwCDDs, some alters may have a few more words than others, while others struggle more than the rest of the system. in autistics with frequent verbal shutdowns, there may be alters who rarely if ever experience speech loss, while there are others who are permanently in a state of verbal shutdown. the ability to communicate non-verbally (using body language, signing, or even using assistive technology and speech-to-text) can fluctuate, with certain alters being less effective at using these methods than others. (note: from what i have heard from non-verbal/non-speaking pwCDDs, all alters tend to lack mouth words. if this is inaccurate to your experience, feel free to share!)

of course, there are more ways that autism can influence and interact with alters in CDDs! if you would like to add to this list, feel free to do so. ^^

"none of my alters have fronted recently, does that mean i'm faking?"

hey. you're an alter too, remember? you are as much a part in this team as any other part. you're important. just because other alters haven't fronted recently doesn't automatically mean you were wrong, or "faking". parts get front stuck; it happens! switching slows down; it happens! the rest of the system quiets down for a while; it happens! especially if you are newly-discovered.

be patient. be kind to yourself. you are the only alter that needs to front right now in order to be "valid". you know what you've experienced, you know you aren't trying to fake this, so know that fronting alone for a while will not take these experiences away from you.

good luck & take care. 🤍

it's a little concerning seeing posts or tags like "oh, i really want to watch this show, but i'm scared of splitting introjects from it".

that's honestly a very terrifying mindset to have! becoming avoidant of things that may result in introjection is not a healthy way to live your life, y'all.

the thing is- we can all agree that splitting happens due to a stressor. if you have a higher tolerance for splitting, that stressor may need to be something very upsetting, or even traumatic. but if you have a lower threshold for splitting (for example, in many cases of polyfragmented DID), a lesser stressor may even cause the formation of new alters.

now, we can take a step back & say: a TV show will not make you split introjects*. if there was a stressor that caused a split, you would have split anyway regardless of whether or not that new alter was formed off of an outside source.

knowing that, saying "well, if i'm going to split, i'd rather not have it be an introject from [xyz media]" is deducing this alter - one who is new, & potentially feeling confused or afraid - to only 'a character from the media i watched', when, in fact, they are just as real of an alter as any other non-introjected/brainmade/whatever alter.

anyway, that's my take. this has been something that i've seen echoed - both jokingly & seriously - across the CDD community & i just wanted to give my two cents. i am not trying to start fights, just reassure others with low split-tolerance that they are not "causing" splits by watching the shows they like or playing fun games.

*an exception would perhaps be triggering media, which will then become the stressor. however, this is not talked about as often as just... normal, fun media.

when people say not to be "weird" about pwCDDs (complex dissociative disorders*), they mean:

do not base your assumption of what CDDs look like off of popular media.

do not speak over pwCDDs when they share their experiences.

do not "fake-claim" someone - meaning, do not accuse someone of faking their disorder. this is unhelpful, & unless you know everything they have been through & everything going on in their mind (which you do not), you have no authority to claim that they are faking.

do not judge those with CDDs based off the types of alters they have.

do not treat alters that are not the host part like they are lesser than.

do not assume that pwCDDs can control their switches. also do not assume that they have no control - every person is different.

ask before referring to someone as "plural", "multiple", a "system", etc. everyone has different preferences for the language used to describe their experiences.

ask them how they would like to be treated.

do not pry into their trauma-history or ask any sort of invasive question that you wouldn't ask someone without a CDD.

do not feel as if you are entitled to know EVERYTHING about the person. they are allowed to share what they want, when or if they want.

remember that CDDs present differently in different people. if you have two friends with CDDs, their experiences can be wildly different & still both be valid.

feel free to add on with what you believe should be proper etiquette when interacting with someone who has a CDD! 🤍

*complex dissociative disorders: an umbrella term to refer to dissociative disorders such as DID, OSDD1, P-DID & (some cases of) UDD, where "alternate self states" - or "alters" - are present.

EDIT: please feel free to share this even if you do not have a CDD! the more people who are aware, the better.

DID ALTER EXPLAINS: TYPES OF CDDs

so, what are CDDs? complex dissociative disorders are dissociative disorders that occur with the presence of "alternate self states" - alters. this includes DID, OSDD1, P-DID & some presentations of UDD. in this post, i will cover quick overviews regarding the key differences between these complex dissociative disorders.

DID - DISSOCIATIVE IDENTITY DISORDER

likely the most well-known complex dissociative disorder, DID is classified by:

the existence of two or more distinct identity states (as said before, i will be referring to these as "alters") accompanied by changes in behaviour, memory & thinking.

dissociative amnesia, which includes both partial & complete episodes of memory loss.

DPDR that affects daily life & functioning.

the symptoms must not be caused by substance use or another medical condition, & must not be part of normal cultural or religious practices.

this is a summary of the diagnostic criteria for DID¹, however there may be many other features present as well. common phenomena include: alters taking control of the patient's body in turns, the existence of an "internal world", as well as comorbid C-PTSD symptoms (flashbacks, hypervigilance, etc).

NOTE: DID with polyfragmentation (sometimes called complex DID) will be discussed in a later post.

OSDD1 - OTHERWISE SPECIFIED DISSOCIATIVE DISORDER (TYPE 1)

OSDD1 as a diagnosis - previously called DDNOS (dissociative disorder not otherwise specified) - is given to patients who nearly fit the diagnostic criteria for DID, however they lack one of the criteria needed to make a DID diagnosis.

OSDD1, therefore, is a spectrum of experiences².

in the online CDD community, you may hear talk of two OSDD1 subtypes: OSDD1-a & OSDD1-b. these are community terms that describe two of the most common OSDD1 presentations. take note, not all OSDD1 cases will fit neatly into either of these subtypes, but many still find these labels important when describing their experiences. here is a short overview:

OSDD1-a: the lacking criterion comes in where i mentioned "distinct identity states". in OSDD1-a patients, their alters are separated by the amnesia barriers present in DID, however the individual alters are often very similar in identity. these alters tend to seem more like "modes" of the same person, rather than distinct individuals. an example would be a patient named sarah, whose alters could perhaps be describes as "angry sarah", "childlike sarah" & "happy sarah".

OSDD1-b: the lacking criterion here is the presence of amnesia. those with OSDD1-b do not experience dissociative amnesia.

P-DID - PARTIAL DISSOCIATIVE IDENTITY DISORDER

P-DID is quite different compared to other complex dissociative disorders in terms of how it presents! the disorder is (typically) classified as such:

there are no episodes of amnesia.

one identity state exists as the "dominant" consciousness.

the dominant identity is intruded upon by 1 or more non-dominant self states, who do not recurrently take full control of the patient's consciousness & body (however episodes thereof may occur occasionally).

P-DID³ is under-researched compared to DID & even OSDD1.

UDD - UNSPECIFIED DISSOCIATIVE DISORDER

the diagnosis of UDD is given to those whose symptoms do not neatly fit into the criteria of another dissociative disorder⁴, including complex dissociative disorders.

as such, those with UDD may or may not note the presence of alters. it will all depend on the individual experience of patients with UDD.

this diagnosis may also be made in emergencies, or when a clinician is not able to gather enough information to diagnose a more specified CDD/DD.

these are all of the recognised types of complex dissociative disorders!

i hope i was able to set out this information in a manner that makes sense to those both within the online CDD community, & those new to it. thank you for taking this time to educate yourself on these dissociative disorders! if you have any questions, my askbox is open.

the state of syscord is almost ridiculous at this point. i honestly just want a space to make friends, talk about recovery, & be open about myself, but most of these servers seem more preoccupied with what experiences are ALLOWED or what your alters are SUPPOSED to look like/think like/be named. don't get me wrong, many of these topics are important, but it feels very judgemental & strict as a system that sometimes falls outside of the bounds of what is considered the """normal""" CDD experience online.

it's really heartwarming & validating to see such a large spectrum of DID experiences under people who have been professionally diagnosed.

i used to fear that my system was too "odd" to ever receive a diagnosis for DID. however, on tumblr, i have met diagnosed systems who:

are introject/fictroject heavy.

have 0 introjects.

were diagnosed as minors.

were diagnosed quite late in life.

experience polyfragmentation.

have very high alter + fragment counts.

have 2 or 3 alters.

use neopronouns.

are transgender or have bodily transitioned.

have no innerworld.

have a complex & vivid innerworld.

didn't know they were a system before being diagnosed.

knew they were a system before seeking diagnosis.

are overt, obvious & cannot mask.

are highly covert & completely secretive.

there is such an array of experiences being shared on this website, & it tells me that there is hope for all of us to receive a diagnosis*, care & recovery help.

*if that is what you want!

good days with DID can be absolutely beautiful. it can be life-changing to have moments where you feel grateful for your parts, where you realise how far you've come, & where you have better communication/memory than other days. good days - or even *slightly* better days - should be celebrated. you deserve to be proud of yourself for every day you survive with this difficult, misunderstood disorder.

*communicate for this question refers to your ability to share or exchange information between alters, cooperate, & share your thoughts; not necessarily to "speak" to each other, unless that's how you communicate.
