A possible link between Autism and Polyfragmented DID

In this video from The CTAD Clinic, Dr Mike Lloyd (Clinic Director) raises the possibility of a link between autism and Polyfragmented DID (which could also apply to Other Specified Dissociative Disorder (OSDD) as well as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Mike discusses the causes of large, multilayered (polyfragmented) systems, and uses available research t build a theory about why such systems may be more prevalent within traumatised autistic people. #otherspecifieddissociativedisorder #osdd #dissociativeidentitydisorder #did #autism References for the research stated are as follows: Healing the Unimaginable: Treating Ritual Abuse and Mind Control (Miller, A, 2011) "Dissociation in Autism Spectrum Disorders: An Under-Recognized Symptom" (Reuben & Parish, 2022) "Interpersonal Trauma and Posttraumatic Stress in Autistic Adults" (Haruvi-Lamdan et al., 2020 / Brenner et al., 2021) "Impact of bullying victimization in pathological dissociation..."
