Hi. I didn't want to be that person to comment a long comment under a video but I just would like to point some stuff out about your video, more specifically the newer one where you're clarifying about your AU. Please know I am NOT trying to fight or argue, I'm simply trying to point out some mistakes and help you learn from them. I cannot explain how DID Is as I don't have it, but I have autism, and I am actively studying psychology. DID was a hyperfixation a few years back, but of course, my memory may be a little bit rusty.
You also two slides saying “I'll be making a video about when chuuya’s headspace when he realises he has DID so that'll be fun!” (DID is a disorder. It is not at all fun.)
You do not accurately portray symptoms of DID, as the only symptom you showed so far (to be honest it is one video so I don't expect him to go around shifting through alters and displaying every symptom.) is chuuya talking to voices in his head, which I’m pretty sure is not how DID works, since I don’t think alters can communicate like that with each other, but I may be wrong. DID is a disorder. Disorders are never something “fun,” and presenting it that way is rather disrespectful. Please do better when representing it.
You also said you researched DID and asked your DID friends, but I genuinely do not believe you did(I am not calling you a liar, I just doubt it, I'm not trying to start any fights.) It is extremely unlikely you know multiple people with DID, especially considering how rare it is. Doctors have even been unsure in the past if it genuinely exists (last time I checked anyway, I will double check in a minute) because of how uncommon it is. I do not believe at all that DID behaves the way you showed, and even if it is different for some people (I’m not sure if it is), you are not giving an accurate representation because chuuya has no symptoms other than arguing with alters in his head which I believe only certain systems (if any) can communicate but it's rare and not arguments but rather fragments.
I double checked, and it is widely recognised but still considered controversial (“DID may be iatrogenic, meaning it could be a product of therapist influence and media portrayals”). This still does not make your portrayal accurate. I do apologise for saying something untrue but I double checked and cleared it up.
Now for the autism/pills part. This is what I will be the most accurate and able to speak on with.
The way you handled the circled image came across as rather rude. You laughed at the person who asked the question, almost as if you were laughing at them for not knowing (even though the information you are spreading is incorrect), instead of politely explaining. I am not trying to call you rude.
In the autism community, most people really dislike the phrase “autism is a superpower,” because it is not. What about it is a superpower? Being unable to handle the texture of fleece? Shutting down under stress and overstimulation? Being unable to figure out what people want from you socially? Taking things way too literally? It is not a superpower. And it is not a “fun” way to spread awareness if you are spreading misinformation.
Autism is not super cool. It is a disability and disorder that won't go away. You can try mask it and ignore it and learn coping strategies but there is not cure or pill to help with autism. Not everyone with autism has the same personality but autism builds you and potentially some aspects of your personality.
It is not a superpower.
Thank you for reading this and I hope we can calmly discuss this and not fight. If I came off rude at any point I apologise I did not mean to.
