hi i put this thing together because i think it might be helpful given how a lot of systems including myself are more open now but it’s still really misunderstood and there’s a lot of confusion about this stuff so. i hope i cleared it up a bit.

useful resources if you need to know more detail on this stuff than i could fit in:

• DSM-V criteria for Dissociative Identity Disorder
• About DDNOS (OSDD)
• Differences between DDNOS and DID
• Wikipedia on ‘Dissociation’
• Mind.org on Dissociation and Dissociative Disorders
• A FAQ about Multiplicity also explaining how it’s NOT DID
• A more complete list of common alter types and their roles (alternative, also a list)
• Typical Symptoms of DID (.pdf)

If you still want to ask me stuff you can. I’d really appreciate spreading this :D
