This is a really interesting question. I think 'normal' is a moving target.
I learned through a diagnostic process with a licensed therapist. After she explained things, I could look back and some puzzling stuff made sense finally. In retrospect I could see that I have DID. If she hadn't told me, and I encountered the notion online, I would not have suspected. My walls are pretty thorough.
Therapy is the process by which I/we are learning how things are arranged on the inside. I think that process is helping me know I have DID/MPD.
Hope this helps you.
