How do you differentiate memory loss and forgetfulness due to ADHD vs due to DID (Dissociative Identity disorder) ? I always wondered.

I mean, my therapist thinks I am both but wouldn't some aspects of those disorders overlap? If so, is it even possible to place a real diagnosis when so many things get tangled? The only diagnosis I have for the time being is ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and I know that there is a lot of overlap with ADHD and even some with DID in the dissociation part (It can be confounded as a shutdown and other things).

Basically, if anyone can tell me how memory loss and forgetfulness are like for them, I would be delighted. Thanks for reading and for any answer ! :)

Ok so basically I either have OSDD or DID (idk yet), and I feel myself wanting to have DID more than OSDD. Well that sounded bad.. Anyways, I feel that DID is more accepted and more taken seriously while OSDD feels less formal in a sense. How do you reconcile with the possibility of having a "lesser" form of DID? So like feel more like a fraud?

(No offence meant, I just don't know how to explain my thoughts differently. Also I know that most of what I have written is a false idea of OSDD, but I can't help the stereotypes.)
