I don't belong in this category at all but as an outsider I can say, from the DID people I have met, the thing people call DID, having separate personalities with names that take turns, as much as it does exist, is just a small part of what DID can be. It has become how DID "should" look like and that is just too bad. In reality it is much more complex and it can take many other shapes.

I had a RL friend since 8 years that I had totally missed she had DID, why? Because she never, ever presented by jumping from one alter to another. Yet she was deeply dissociative and I always thought something was different with her, but my guess was on ADHD. How wrong I was!!!
