We cover: \u2022 What DID is and how it develops as an adaptive response to early trauma \u2022 The DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for DID \u2022 How OSDD differs from DID \u2022 Common signs of dissociation, including depersonalisation, derealisation, memory differences, and identity shifts \u2022 The difference between everyday dissociation and clinically significant dissociative disorders Steph also reflects on the intersection of plurality with autism and ADHD, and why dissociative experiences deserve space within broader neurodivergent conversations. This episode offers a grounded starting point for anyone wanting to understand dissociation beyond media portrayals \u2014 whether for personal insight or professional learning. As always, this content is educational and not a substitute for individual clinical advice.
