| Does anyone here play MUDs? (multi-user dungeons)? I would have thought more aspies played text-based games, but now seeing the forum threads I don't really know anymore, so I thought I would ask. Let me know if there is a better thread that I can look at. MUDs are the predecessors to modern MMOs. T... |

| ^ Yes, not trying as hard to conceal natural behaviours does decrease anxiety. I dawdle, space out and rock a little in public without trying to hide it so much now; my anxiety levels have plummeted. it really is incredible. my primary diagnosis was anxiety disorder, my psychiatrist (for whom i hav... |

| as well as the memory lapses, usually a person with DID will have a "host" personality which is usually unaware of the other personalities, and the "switching" is uncontrollable.

| Everyone has different abilities/support/limitations. Sometimes people do just whine when they can "just do it", while other people genuinely have limitations compared to other people in the same boat. qft. It's premature to make assumptions really. The ones I made in the post above are specificall... |

| I think the people who are posting "I can't do this!" threads are people who are still in the early stages of post-diagnosis mentality. They're still trying to diagnose themselves and justify their diagnosis because they've just had a major identity shift and want to talk about it so it seems more l... |

I'm going to formulate a few stereotyped polite, gracious phrases and say them all day. and excuse myself a lot. As long as you're not the bride or the groom, I don't think it... |
