Day 4: Hold YourHorses

As we see with the recent narrowing of the diagnosis of autism, as well as how the definition of EDS was narrowed, the diagnosis criteria for disabilities is not purely scientific, and often carries motivations that are closely tied to ableism. If someone is subclinical for a disability but is suffering from or limited by it, that will be respected here.

The second is more personally motivated. We never found out what my father's most disabling disability was, but by the end of his life, he couldn't be touched without experiencing pain. The fact that I can't put a name to his disability does not mean that he was not disabled.

Not knowing how to name your disability is isolating and frustrating. But here, you are part of the disabled community.

obviously P-DID is included in the tags in plural posts, it's mentioned in plural recourses, but there's no specific communities for systems like ours; we're an afterthought.

because of the lack of information about us, the lack of community, it makes it harder for confused fellow plurals to know what they have.

i learned what P-DID was almost exactly a month ago. i've been experiencing confusion about my alters for 2 years until i stumbled upon a breif mention of the disorder and had to do digging to find out more.

i bet some people reading this may not even know what P-DID is, and that saddens me(if anyone has any questions about P-DID, please ask. i am working on a post about questions)

or people may have an idea on what it is, but see it as, "ICD version of OSDD", when that isn't really the full truth to our experiences. and it is very american-centric to frame a disorder as such.

i would love to see P-DID gain more recognition in the wider plurality space, so the recognition could help others find out who they are, and so we can gain our own space as well(maybe i could make a new tag? actually partial?)
