He looks like your school counselor trying to convince you not to kill yourself

I made a post on Reddit about how TMBG songs can reflect the ADHD and autism experience, and it led to some fascinating conversation with neurodivergent people who love and relate to the Johns’ lyrics.

A Small Reminder For OSDDID Systems

There is no such thing as the "perfect system." Your brain developed this disorder in the best way it saw fit to help you survive. As such, your system structure and the way it functions is specific to you, the trauma you underwent, and the way you reacted to it.

You might have more nonhuman alters than other systems, or you might form introjects easier. You might have hundreds of fragments, or you might have none. You might have 2 alters, you might have 10, or you might have hundreds.

Your system is catered towards your specific needs. While we all share symptoms and aspects in common, our systems are unique to us. What that means differs from person to person. Some might have hundreds of introjects, and some might have none. Both system were needed for their body's survival.

Your system is valid as it is, even if others try to tell you otherwise. What your system "should" be like is exactly how it already is because it's your system, and it was made to help you survive.

I fucking WISH, because I very much need to see this as well! But we must all roll our minds back to the old old days of The Year 2000, when digital cameras were very new and almost no one had them and when they did they used fucking floppy disks (really!). I have some short bits of choppy, low-quality videos from early-2000s era shows but sadly this is not one of them, all I have is the picture I used for the thumbnail here, but the picture alone is…really something so I am extremely grateful for the existence of that at least. Here it is in its full glory:
