Also the information that all alters will have an alter of the opposite sex is rubbish. There MAY be alters of the opposite sex but it is not one of the criteria for DID.

no there will not always be young alters. even though it is documented that splitting happens before the age of five some people have alters that grow up along with their biological age. I know a few DID people who have alters no younger than 13, others with alters no younger than 10, some no younger than 7.
each persons system of alters is what each person needed to survive. some people needed their alters to grow with them, some needed alters to remain young, others needed alters older than their biological ages,
