I see you are in yorkshire (the UK?) here in america DID is recognized by the American Psychiatric Association (the mental health organization that makes the rules and diagnostics for mental disorders here in america) as being caused by extreme abuse at very young age. demographics/statistics\mental health standards in my location (New York/USA )is under the age of 5.
different locations have different standards\statistics\demographics therefore to find out what your location believes and goes by for how/when and why DID is created you will need to contact treatment providers in your location.

that just confuses me...my abuse did not start until about five, as far as i know. and i'm very certain my dissociation started around then and developed more and more up until age 10 as more trauma happened over those years and stopped around age 10. i have read different things where it says the age at the oldest for dissociation to that degree to develop alters/parts is between 7 and 9,depending.
