Question

It's been suggested that multiplicity might be more common in people with/whose body has Aspergers' syndrome or autism, and I'm rather curious how well that holds up.

Do you or anyone in your system have Aspergers' syndrome or autism? If so, is it a system-wide thing, or particular to a certain person or group?


We have Aspergers' syndrome, and it appears to affect everyone in our system to some extent. (None of us is all that good at understanding social situations or reading body language, for instance, and the lot of us have 'odd' interests.)

The problem with correlating diagnoses is that people in treatment for one thing may be more likely to have someone identify other things.

And then again, sometimes people go through multiple diagnostic labels. It wouldn't necessarily be uncommon for a multiple system to be labelled a number of things, especially if they were in contact with a psychiatric community that didn't believe in/wasn't looking for multiplicity.

But otherwise, yah, agreed.
