While I understand that fakeclaiming is harmful to individuals of
all communities, the fakers are extremely harmful in a lot of ways.
For example, due to many people faking Autism,
many neurotypical people assume Autism is just "silly, yippee creature!"
and will fail to recognize the real problems that comes with being diagnosed on the spectrum.
That being said, the sheer amount of people who fake or convince others they have DID creates this
stigma towards the disorder, where it becomes extremely difficult to believe whether someone is
actually telling the truth or not.
I think everyone who believes they may have a disorder should try to get a diagnosis to prevent
harmful stereotypes from continuing, if it's something that you truly want to know then you should.
Otherwise, don't self-diagnose, don't tell others what they may or may not have, and don't say
self-diagnosing is okay, because it's not. And if you agree that it is, you're most likely one yourself.
DID is a real disorder, it is rare, and it's an intense disorder that is more then just alters and playful
headmates! This is something I NEVER see discussed. There is so much more to DID then alters,
and it is extremely harmful to fake.
