hey gang! welcome back to quinn clears up common endo misinfo!

you may have seen people claiming “the dsm says that 10% of people with DID don’t have trauma”. this is not true! here’s the quote I believe they’re referencing, from pages 294-295 in the DSM-V:

Prevalence of childhood abuse and neglect in the United States, Canada, and Europe among those with the disorder is about 90%. Other forms of traumatizing experiences, including childhood medical and surgical procedures, war, childhood prostitution, and terrorism, have been reported.

this does not say what they claim it says at all! this quote rather states that 10% of people with DID did not experience childhood abuse and neglect. NOT any form of trauma at all. In fact, the second sentence here immediately lists other forms of trauma that could make up that other 10%! nowhere does this state that there are individuals with DID and no trauma. it simply says that childhood abuse and neglect is the most common trauma associated with the disorder.

hope this helped! please stop spreading misinformation! love you all <3

My ADHD manifested in excellent in-class work. Excellent understanding in discussions. Excellent participation. 

My ADHD manifested in piles of homework left undone until the last possible minute, while I stared at them, thinking; “I want to get these done. I understand the theory. It would take 10 minutes. I want to start, why can’t I start?” 

My ADHD manifested in fantastic reading comprehension - nigh impenetrable focus on interesting topics the first time I’m reading about them. 

My ADHD manifested in a complete inability to focus on reviews or re-reads, mind skittering sideways and away whenever anything was boring or repetitive. I sat down to study, my books open, my eyes on the text, and my brain clawing its way out the back of my head to focus on something else - anything else. Focus, focus! [No.]

My ADHD manifested in Articulating wings half-finished but still beautiful, in beautiful lineart and half-hearted coloring. In stories written passionately for days until I forgot it existed and never returned. In projects started and forgotten and started and forgotten a thousand times until my bins of project supplies piled up and my bank account shriveled down. No, it will be different this time - I LOVE this new thing. This new thing is my world, my destiny, my Everything. I CREATE and CREATE and CREATE and never FINISH. 

My ADHD manifested in confusion and surprise as time slithered away, hours passing like minutes and minutes seeming endless by contrast. An inability to gauge how much time had passed, was left, a task would take. An inability to hold dates in my head, because time didn’t feel consistent or even real.

 My ADHD manifested in watching someone talk and not understanding a word they said - literally hearing sounds and translating out only nonsense. In thoughts so loud I couldn’t speak coherently. In a conversation across the room shattering an idea I was trying to hold. It’s hard to think when you’re already thinking about everything around you.

disability advocacy went wrong when it became about inspiration porn and “differently abled” and savants. its incredible that that guy with no legs did a triathlon but your sister with no legs will not and she doesnt need prosthetics or five hour training days to deserve respect and compassion and accommodations. its incredible that that autistic guy can look at a city from a helicopter for an hour and then draw the entire detailed skyline from memory when he lands but your autistic friend cannot and they dont need to have a special Autism Power to deserve respect and compassion and accommodations. 

activism framed around “we are just as CAPABLE” means that when people genuinely are less capable they are left behind. activism framed around “we are just as WORTHY” is fundamental to radical compassion.

sometimes…. it truly is Not That Deep

like my god half the shit some of you guys argue about…… ‘it’s bad to make ‘academia’ moodboards of heavy coats and plaid things because that romanticizes grad school when irl it’s mostly just people being stressed out and in debt… you’re Tricking People into thinking it’s fun and cool and they’re gonna go and be stressed out and in debt’ who cares!!! truly who cares!!!!! sometimes Posts Online are really Not That Impactful and Not That Deep

[dingdongyouarewrong]

i dunno it reminds me of people saying stuff like ‘the reason movies are so repetitive these days is that Teenagers Writing Fanfiction have made everyone want to watch the same situations over and over again’ like…. Teenagers Making Posts Online Are Not As Serious And Impactful As You Think They Are
