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.)

My psychology teacher last year was amazingly uninformed about a lot of things, so I would not be surprised if this was false- but he said that MPD was caused my psychological trauma, such as being molested or abused (so it's a more common disorder in girls).

As far as I know Aspergers and autism are both... something you're born with... and MPD is something you gain. If I'm way off here I'm sorry, I'm learning.

I don't have multiples by the way, I'm just a mercurial girl... and probably bipolar. Or maybe I'm just a teenager, who knows?
