Comparison of challeged lives

[BlackeBird]

This is an interesting conversation for me since I have both DID and ASD. I can totally see the crossover. Sometimes if something goes wrong for me it takes me a while to figure out whether it's due to one dx or the other. I agree with what people are saying about how autism receives more positive press and more support. Mental illness in general is not takes as seriously as "physical" illness. Some people still think folks with mental illness should just "act normal" and get over it. So annoying! DID in particular seems to be something that many mental health professionals still don't believe in, despite all the research proving otherwise. I hope people get their heads out of the sand soon.
