Yu Jingrong was somewhat disoriented: "Could this have something to do with my brother's autism?! Is it some kind of mental illness? Like schizophrenia or something?"
Li Chengyun comforted her: "Don't scare yourself. It's not as severe as you think. Dissociative identity disorder, also known as split personality disorder, is a type of personality disorder, just like autism. People with these abnormal personalities generally tend to be sensitive and suspicious, or withdrawn and solitary. The doctor mentioned that many people who suffer from autism also exhibit signs of dissociative identity disorder. Autism entails a lack of interest in external things, difficulty in communication, and an inability to connect with others, resulting in isolating oneself completely. However, they do have a grandiose side to them, though it's usually suppressed. Once that suppressed side breaks through, it manifests as dissociative identity disorder."
