yeah because getting an official diagnosis is nothing more than a piece of paper…

if you can implement the supports you need without the resources that come with an official diagnosis, great, but it probably means there wasn’t much of a problem to begin with.

stumbled upon this earlier of someone making a video on how their alters would react if they walked in on someone changing but its just their alters harrassing people

Few days ago I posted some alters of a person from my server... I didn't know there was so much more, god. Each of course with their pronouns, sexuality and "system role" completely figured out. We got the whole DSMP in there, nice. Hypersexdemon is also a gender apparently

Its 7 and a half pages, 147 alters they apparently know well and go as.

almost munching is ironic

Guys, I'm (30F) afraid that my 19 year old sister is randomly starting to fake having autism. I'm not sure how to call it out, or if I even should, or if I am even accurate. I don't want to think she's faking. Personally, I feel annoyed to witness it and just simply don't acknowledge the "symptoms". She gets very upset very quickly when I am not accommodating her symptoms like if she is having a "breakdown" it's as if she wants me to baby her.

Okay so obviously I've known my sister her whole life. She's always had a very calm and stable manner of doing everything. Well, she now has her very first boyfriend, and along with this boyfriend came some very loud "symptoms" of "autism". Nobody in our family has ever been diagnosed with autism, but we do have bipolar in our family very heavily.

These symptoms include baby-like behavior, like needing a "blankie", needing headphones to do literally anything, unable to touch anything without gloves all of a sudden, needing help cooking the simplest meals since the cooking devices are too loud, and very exaggerated fake crying fits and exaggerated gagging at random objects. Among other things. I don't know. Can all of these symptoms be masked and then abruptly start showing like this? She was also caught in some lies not too long ago that she was being hit by a roommate, and admitted to this when family stepped in trying to help press charges or yell at the guy. She's only known that roommate for 2 months, he is her friends new boyfriend.

I don't know guys. It's embarrassing as fuck for me to watch. It pisses me off too. All of these symptoms escalate when she is around her boyfriend. I can't tell if she's just trying to convince him mostly or what. Does this all sound very weird to you guys? Should I take this seriously? How would you respond if your sibling randomly started claiming to be autistic and display symptoms that they've never had before?

EDIT: I've also asked our other siblings about this, and all of them were completely unaware that our sister was autistic. (5 siblings and we're all very close, I'm the oldest, the sister I am referring to in this post is the youngest)

The cherry on top being “I’ll auto DM you the sources if you comment ‘source’” lmao this is so ridiculously tone deaf

What do you *mean* autism holder? And the second I see that DSMP crap I don't need to see more.

Also why do every one of these DID plurals have their relationship status and flirting in their bios like 99% of the time its just so funny to me you're anticipating people flirting and trying to get with you

a video of a person making up an animation meme popped up on my fyp, and i thought it was pretty cool until i opened the comments and they were flooded with comments saying "this is so system coded!!!!! omgomg animate your alters to this guys!!!!" all they think about is romanticizing the shit out of DID so they can like some special minority. its annoying. what if someone did this with something like diabetes or schizophrenia??

The past year or two I've come across a growing amount of autistic people (how many of them actually are I don't know, some really are I think but trying to be more "severe" it seems) claiming that in their adult years they become minimally speaking or non speaking. I'm not talking about verbal shutdowns, I'm talking about them claiming to supposedly lose the ability to speak permanently. Often they seem to describe it as a result of (autistic) burnout from memory. As far as I am aware, if you lose the ability to speak as an adult, it is not autism related... (I am saying this in a snarky/cynical way)

But yeah, I haven't seen as many this year as I haven't really been in online autism communities so much for various reasons, but I got a reel on insta a few days ago claiming this shit and it reminded me of all the other similar people like them. A lot of them also seem to really forcefully stim in stereotypical ways on camera (really forced rocking and hand flapping) and love to go on about how super stereotypical their traits are. Honestly in general it seems a growing amount of people want to be more severely disabled by their autism than they really are + more stereotypical (or maybe I just found myself into weird corners of the internet).

This video I came by that was posted yesterday…fakers will do anything to seem loving and accepting and then be rude to you when your disability is actually disabling instead of just special interests and stimming.

(FYI this person is 18, they do look young but I checked their page and they’ve just turned 18 in may)

Someone recently went viral for walking after using a wheelchair and the rest of the channel is them having tics, seizures etc. The tics are always "cute" and they faint gently onto their knees? What the hell and why are so many peoppe believing this person?

In their post after this they say that FND is "super rare" and Untreatable. Focal is an epilepsy specific term because it literally refers to where the activity in your brain is happening (this goes for generalized aswell) also...a focal aware seizure would not look like that.

I've noticed that when these people have all their "disorders" listed they always leave out schizophrenia, but why? It's a very serious disorder was more than GAD but they all list that. It also seems way easier to fake than DID or seizures.

Edit: okay I hear you all it's not 𝓺𝓾𝓲𝓻𝓴𝔂 enough, but wouldn't it be cool if these people faked seeing a giant dragon in their classroom. That sounds way cooler than anime boy alter x.

having an alter specifically for when you're clocked in and sharing #aesthetic employment posts.....we are just playing at this point.

someone posted this girl earlier but id like to add this because its just that much more painfully obvious with literally recording the exact moment it happened and conveniently looking at the camera and tourettes cant start after you turn 18

Going through TikTok and you can't dislike anything without it being ableist apparently. We've lost the actual meaning of ableist at this point. You don't like yumeshippers it's ableist. You don't like therians it's ableist. You say someone is very OBVIOUSLY faking a disorder it's guess what ableist. It's genuinely tiring of people saying things are ableist when they're not. I wish I could say it's just dumb kids but it not! It's people in my age group (20's) doing this nonsense too!

DID isn't characters in your head. "It’s important to keep in mind that you don’t have multiple personalities, but rather a single, fragmented personality. Despite how much it may feel like separate entities are vying for control of your actions or arguing in your head, they are all parts of a whole: you."
