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

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. https://t.co/o3tbWNp8Le

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. 😶

@emgntdivergence Yes we get this too. Heard it’s also called synasthesia.

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.

[Autistic Selves @AutisticSelves]

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? https://t.co/FNZFKlZPqp 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/
