thanks to calista defining the terms correctly, I was able to find some thing. here in the USA Atypical Dissociative Disorder is now called DDNOS - Dissociative Disorders Not Otherwise Specified. Which basically means you have some dissociative symptoms but not enough to be called any one of the 4 dissociative disorders - dissociative amnesia, dissociative fugue, Dissociative Identity Disorder and depresonalization/derealization disorder. its a mixture of them all but not enough to call it one or the other.

if you google "Dissociative Disorders Not Otherwise Specified" or "DDNOS" you can find lots of info on it.
