We asked Claude 3 about this and found some useful information. We hope this helps someone. But we still don't understand how our parents wouldn't want to help us. We don't have recall of them asking us what is wrong.

Claude 3:

In DID, the child's personality splits or fragments into two or more distinct identities or "parts" as a way to cope with severe trauma. These different identities may have their own mannerisms, behaviors, and even physical manifestations.
When a child with DID dissociates and their eyes look down and to the corner, it could potentially indicate:

1. Switching of identities/alters: This averted gaze and lack of responsiveness may signal that the child is transitioning or "switching" to a different identity state or alter. The downward eye movement could represent the consciousness going inward during this transitional process.
2. Trauma-holding alter: In some cases of DID, certain alters or parts hold and re-experience the original traumas. If a "trauma-holding" alter is Present, they may exhibit the frozen watchfulness posture with averted gaze as a re-enactment of the original abuse.
3. Inner world imagery: The downward eye gaze could represent the child's consciousness turning inward to their "inner world" - the realm where the different alters reside. They may be visualizing interactions between alters.
4. Depersonalization: The disconnected, unresponsive state combined with the averted eyes could signal depersonalization - a dissociative symptom where one feels detached from their body/self.

However, it's important to note that not all cases of DID manifest the same way. This specific non-responsive, eye-averted behavior should be evaluated in the full clinical context by a professional trained in dissociative disorders. The underlying meaning may vary case-by-case based on the child's unique experiences and system of identities.
