Wrong!
It's possible that the DID people you know are not aware of their younger alters.
There is plenty of information in this forum in the sticky threads if you doubt me.
For DID to come about the abuse has had to have happened at a very young age and to have continued through out childhood. We are talking about the most horrendous abuse possible for the child to have dissociated through out the abuse. If the abuse continues on the same level through out childhood the child will have more alters. It's a survival mechanism for the child.
