I'm researched self dxed aspd alongside other cluster b's and professionally dxed autism and a hc-did system, and my empathy fluctuates. could my other comorbidities mellow out or maybe even contradict my aspd or make the symptoms milder so to speak?

Absolutely. Comorbidity is fairly well known to cause seemingly contradictory symptoms in all mental health disorders, and that is especially true when it comes to personality disorders and other disorders that cause neurological differences. Your brain affects every portion of your life - your thoughts, words, actions, decisions, etc etc etc. Because of that, ASPD is almost guaranteed to interact in some way with other comorbid disorders, especially for people with more than one comorbid disorder/neurodiversity.

For me, I've also been professionally diagnosed with autism (self dx is valid and that shouldn't be a hot take - that is never why I mention my diagnosis being professional/gen), and it does show through my ASPD in ways that affect the biggest signs of it. Examples below

I avoided breaking laws and rules that Made Sense™️ in my head because of my autistic sense of justice. Instead, my ASPD lack of respect for rules showed with literally anything that didn't make sense to me. You got once chance to explain if I asked, and if that didn't get me an answer then fuck your rule - you'd have answered me if it had any logic at all (see also b&w thinking that could be from the ASPD or the autism, who knows? lol).

I also appear to have empathy for very specific things - not people, besides my Exceptions - but animals and literal objects. Like many autistic people, I have the misplaced empathy thing towards stuffed animals and other inanimate objects - including some that make less sense like electronics. While watching Star Wars, I frequently notice (despite a strong fear of robots) that I only show empathetic responses for droids and animals when they are the victims of violence/mistreatment. Humans and humanoids, on the other hand, cause a severely muted disturbed pang that immediately goes away, if that. My empathy for fictional characters is always higher than for people irl, even though it is still very blunted.

I could give a bunch more examples of this, but suffice to say that comorbidity with any other disorders definitely has a high chance to cause some symptoms to interact in a way that seems to go against the disorders on their own.

There are some elitists who will fight you on this, but they are literally gatekeeping a mental health disorder like it's some secret club and do next to no critical thinking. They are objectively wrong, and I'd advise you to pay them no mind.

❤️ - any favourite reoccurring scenario? :-3

Honestly I LOVE the “Crash is stupidly competent at fixing problems when he gets butler-stipulationed into helping out his romantic interest” bit I’ve come up with

there’s a different version for each partner that kinda adds a different flavour to the relationship.

w/ Max it’s helping him through an injury sustained in the match that he won against Crash and Max getting incredibly testy when Crash just keeps managing to pull off the near-impossible tasks Max sets for him, until Max cracks just enough to let himself admit that yeah, he does enjoy Crash’s company and is in fact going to be constantly calling Crash to come fix stupid shit around his house even after the stipulation is over

w/ Roman it’s Crash saving the entire Bloodline a massive headache by being able to diagnose and fix the problem with the rental truck quickly enough for the crew to get back on the road without completely fucking up their schedule. Like he’s still not sure he trusts Crash entirely because he KNOWS Randy’s intent with “loaning” Crash to the Bloodline was to see Crash’s chaos rip them apart from the inside. But the more Crash works with him, the more convince Roman is that Crash isn’t in on Randy’s plan and is genuinely just trying to be useful

& w/ Gabe it’s not actually a butler stipulation, it’s just Gabe going to a nascar event and seeing Crash working as a part of pit crew with his mom and sister for his dad’s car and making the connection that Crash’s kayfabe persona is 100% him committing to the bit on elweewee grounds. Prior to that Gabe had trouble figuring out where The Lock™️ ends and Kris the guy who wrestles sometimes begins. But after watching him in his element captaining Car #63’s pit crew and directing the flow of movement, Gabe starts to find little hints of Kris underneath The Lock™️ when they’re back in the ring.

The huge underlying theme is the partners realizing Crash’s jack of all trades random ass skill set is equal amounts of correlation/causation with who he is as a person. An ouroboros of tomfuckery.

+ the “romantic interest goes dirtbiking with Crash for the first time and realizes he’s batshit insane” bit

did posting on here bc…this is the void

idk if I have did tbh but like maybe I do guys…maybe I do because why do I keep experiencing symptoms of did u know…

I’m diagnosed but like I wasn’t properly screened for it and I rlly rarely black out so idk? like the current theory is that I’ve been lodged in front bc pre learning that I have did I did have memory gaps sometimes and also vivid memories of being like “I shldnt be here for this long…where are The Others” and that was like a running theme idk.

BUT ANYWAY I’m gonna complain

so general system knowledge to have: in 2022 Syd (host) and Andrew (protector/secondary host ish?) fused as fuck to create Xander who is tbf way more balanced, cool and collected than either of those fuckers ever were. which is fine except at the same time ronan (long time annoyance) (he’s a secondary host or smth w persecutor tendencies bc of an old fusion they went through) FUCKING DISAPPEARED and sometimes we wld get the classic ronan accent™️ (Essex, of course) so Xander assumed that ronan had also integrated but we just like didn’t have his # mems. but I believe he has risen once again. in late 2021 ronan went dormant for 3 months w no word and then came back again so maybe they just did that again. of course. and now it’s weird bc Andrew and ronan were like quite involved emotionally and homosexually speaking but now it’s Xander and like she is still my ex…and I’m mad at them 😶‍🌫️.

stay tuned for more did. complaining while I figure out if it’s really did or if I’m delusional or smth. bc I’m literlaly not lying for attention all of these things are stuff I have to learn from these assholes over time but maybe it’s like long term psychosis or smth.

Mmmm not excited

[bunnywand]

gahhhh it’s my first appointment w/ the nhs gender clinic doctor 2moro and i’m So fucking anxious abt it.. 😣

like, on the one hand i’m excited abt it cos like, i’ve been Waiting 4 this for 3 and a half years!! but on the other it’s like godd.. i’ve been waiting for this for 3 and a half years.. what if it all goes wrong now 😞

i mean i don’t see why it would, i’ve already been thru this process before w/ a private doctor and got diagnosed Transgender™️ but idk.. i don’t kno if the nhs doctors are stricter and like, if they’ll hold it against me i wasn’t ~out~ at my last job, or that i don’t want surgery, and they’ll decide i’m Not Trans Enough and then i’ll be Stuck.. 🙁

mostly i think it’s gonna be fine!! but it’s just like.. been Highly Anticipated and there’s a Lot 2 worry abt.. 😭

[squishybons]

Everytime i jump into a new fandom, my grubby lil hands grab every character in sight, and im like “hmm...you are now diagnosed w gay....YOU are now diagnosed w Trans™️...diagnosed w Love...all of you...” and tbh, its literally so much fun...10/10 do recommend...
