[autisticselves]

In many ways it was helpful to fully integrate all my alters prior to becoming a mother - it enabled me to focus purely on my baby and enabled me to meet my baby’s needs. However, it also meant I literally lost my self (or selves) and I was literally only a mother. It also wasn’t necessary as I am able to parent now with alters so my belief that full integration was necessary to parent effectively was wrong. #actuallyautistic #actuallydid #actuallydissociative #actuallydissociativeidentitydisorder #parenting #parentingonthespectrum #autismandmotherhood #motherhood #motherhoodjourney #autisticselves #autisticDID #autismacceptance #autismawareness #autism #pluralparenting https://www.instagram.com/p/COsP2r0sBc6/?igshid=4j1hzde7g804
