So multiple personality disorder is having a renaissance, I see...

MPD is now called Dissociative Identity Disorder. If it exists, it is said to be caused by severe childhood trauma. However, there's now tons of the fakers going, "You don't have to have experienced trauma to have DID!" Reminds me a lot of the "You don't have to have dysphoria to be trans!" crowd. If you like cringe internet drama, tourettes (especially the swearing one, of course) seems to be "contagious" right now.

They'll claim absolutely anything to avoid a) working for a living; and b) being perceived as the awful, dreaded "neurotypical". They MUST be quirky! and special! and sparkly!, you see. Not like us mere mortals. This is as much a fetish for them as the gender bullshit.

being perceived as the awful, dreaded "neurotypical".

It's like this for all of them.

"Normal" is bad. Everything else flows from this. Cishet = bad, be LGBTPQUDJFKDKJSD+, just make up some xenogender or aromantic-noncommital-poly-bi bullshit if you're not actually gay. White = bad, be some form of "POC". Neurotypical = bad, self-diagnose some sympathy-inducing mental illness (or 5). You can see the pattern. They must be "special" in some way even if that is something which is actively harmful to themselves and society at large.

In the quest for uniqueness, they end up pining for any abnormality. Because it's trendy now. It's pretty characteristic of one not at all used to being singled out for being different.
