A quote from it:
Developmental models of DID posit that the disorder does not arise
from a previously mature, unified mind or core personality that becomes
shattered or fractured. Rather, DID results from a failure of normal developmental
integration, which is caused by overwhelming experiences and
disturbed caregiver–child interactions (including neglect and the failure
to respond) during critical early developmental periods. This, in turn,
leads some traumatized children to develop relatively discrete, personified behavioral states or subsystems of their core personality.

How does this apply when I have an alter that is 16 yrs old, and I first met when I was 16. How does this apply when I have an alter that is in her 40's and doesn't have the same hair color I have. If what you say is true than I should have past that developmental stage by age 16 and age 40. I can see how that could apply to my young ones but not how it applies to all the others. The ones that happened later in life? Please tell me how your post applies to them. I am trying to learn.
