I hate saying "find a T that will believe you", but sometimes you have too. I like to work backwards myself. Instead of having a problem and working for a solution- much like for discovering an hidden condition, I like to start at the results and have them confirm or disprove my findings. I'm not always right, but pretty close most of the time.

But as far as how I mentally function, the blatant evidence buries the doubt, but still, it's their opinion which matters, I guess. I hired my T and flat told her that we had no diagnosis but know that we are multiple...fix us, lol. And if it turns out that we are just genius crazy, so be it. I hate starting at the beginning....done that, let's get started somewhere in the middle or close to the end. :P
