uhm.. welcome to wrong planet , but I have no reference for OSDD system previously . Am curious if any of your Alters have a ASD diagnosis . Please be patient with the site as am not sure if I have ever dealt with any other DID
individuals on the site here . Generally have found the people on this site can be pretty understanding .
Think some people have little references for DID individuals . So Patience might be a good thing on this site .?

What is your first name? Stephen

Age:38

Location: Austin, Texas, United States

Hobbies and Interests: Oliver Sacks, cannabis, bipolar disorder, Tourette's, autism, applied behavior analysis, history, literature, early Christian theology, Buddhism, genetics, quantum computing, holographic and other alternative theories regarding the nature of reality and characteristics of the universe

Why are you here? I think I have Tourette's. I've been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and probably other things I'm not thinking of. Oh, like PTSD, etc. I self-diagnosed myself with Asperger's. At this point I don't really know what all I have, but from reading Oliver Sacks, reading other cases of Tourette's, and seeing Tourette's on video I have come to the conclusion that I definitely have those traits as well. I think a lot of what I have that Sacks would call "enhancements," that I have typically associated with ADHD and bipolar manic traits, actually might be more likely to stem from Tourette's. I won't go into an explanation of that right now. I could go on about it all day. But learning about "premonitory urges" has been fascinating for me. I am very intrigued by action that falls between the involuntary and the voluntary. I really want to know how similar tics are to stims, and I also wonder if what I have associated with seizure activity might actually instead be particularly demonstrative motor tic activity.

When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): This question is too complicated for me to answer.

Favorite subjects: Math, literature, history, philosophy

Year/Grade: I have a master's degree in journalism. I might be going back to school for history. I now think I am meant to write about and study neurology, psychology, and mathematics. Maybe physics and biology. I don't know. This has quickly become tangential.

Favorite music: I've been obsessed with Sia lately, but I generally listen to classical music.

Books: The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat - Oliver Sacks, On the Move - Oliver Sacks, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll, The Wizard of Oz - L. Frank Baum, The Bible, Man's Search for Meaning - Viktor Frankl

TV shows/Movies: Punch-Drunk Love, Awakenings, The Point!, Finding Dory

Instrument: I do not play any instruments.

Do you like sports? I like basketball and bowling. I don't watch any sports, though I used to.

Family: Complicated

Clothing: I wear solid colors, mostly black, though I've been wearing some color lately. The hoodie I'm wearing right now is blue.

How did you find this website? I don't remember.

Job: I've been driving Uber. Might be working as a behavior technician (again) soon. I know, it's awful, right? Lovaas? Are you kidding me? Let's talk about it!

Plans for the future? Pretty open right now.
