is it possible to be autistic AND schizoid?

If I got to naming my moods does that make them alters?

I've had that happen. It was hard for me to describe properly until I was put on meds and it wasn't an issue anymore. I attributed my version of it (I can't speak for how others with DID have it affect them) to the same as you described.

I'd go into an odd form of psychosis(?) and though I'd have a tiny bit of me conscious in my brain it would be overpowered by the "personality of the mood". This of course was a piece of my own personality but a much more intense form of it.
