is it possible to not remember when the first split occured? I have vague memories (or a feeling perhaps) of at least one of my alters being there when I was a child. They then they went dormant for a long time. The alters, too, say they were there, but I don't remember almost anything about it?
Yeah, that’s absolutely possible!

Can DID only develop from childhood trauma?
Yeah. DID can only develop from repeated childhood trauma.
Is it possible to develop osdd during 9-11 years old? Like, if the kid has been exposed to emotional abuse during that time and during the 11 year one of his parents (who protected the child from the other abusive parent) dies? Thanks in advance and sorry if it doesn't makes sense.
I’m sure there’s a rare exception out there, but generally no, either it would have formed before 11 or there’s something else going on. If at all possible, I’d seek professional help to help you understand your experiences and get help for your symptoms. Good luck.
(I assume you’re referring to OSDD-1. Other specified dissociative disorders may start after age 9)
I usually hear that it has to be repeated trauma before the age of 9 to cause DID/OSDD but can long term, non repetitive trauma do the same? what about several different traumatic experiences over the course of years?
Ehhhhh it really depends. Unfortunately we don’t know what exact kinds of circumstances will cause DID/OSDD to form.
It’s somewhat well supported that multiple different traumas of the same type can qualify for that (the same kind of traumas, but never twice in the exact same circumstances). Multiple completely different traumas- probably? But it really depends on the person and the effects of the trauma after the event, I think.
I’d talk to a professional about this- I really can’t say for sure what would and wouldn’t qualify as repeated trauma. Sorry I don’t have more information on this!
This is hard to explain but one of the oldest alters has been around for ages and at first seemed like an imaginary friend, is that normal? Ahh sorry if this doesn't make sense.
Yeah, that’s pretty normal!! Kids conceptualize things in the best way they can, so it’s pretty common for alters (esp protectors) to be viewed as imaginary friends. You’re good!

ah, i have a question! i think i may have did, but i also have autism, and a lot of the typical development times were delayed, i think. the trauma i had was around 10-12 years old, and though i had trauma before then, i think the trauma that my did, if i have it, stemmed from was the trauma i had at about 10-12. because my development was a bit delayed, is it possible i have did, or another identity disorder? thanks!
I don’t think I know enough about you to have an educated opinion on your situation, and it’s a really good idea to sort this out with a professional.
I do know that it’s really hard for DID/OSDD-1 to form later in childhood. If you have DID, it’s likely that it formed before age 10 and it’s very unlikely that it formed later.
There isn’t really another identity disorder. The only disorders that cause alters are DID, OSDD-1a, and OSDD-1b. OSDD-1a doesn’t require fully distinct alters/fully distinct switches, and OSDD-1b doesn’t require amnesia between fronters.
Dissociation can be attributed to cPTSD, and I know that sometimes with autism different emotional reactions and skillsets are compartmentalized. This might make you feel as though you only have access to different skills or reactions at particular times.
But again with your particular situation I really do advise you to seek professional help. Sorry I can’t be of more help and I wish you the best with your diagnosis and healing!!
After the inital split, is it possible to keep on forming headmates, whether they're linked to trauma or not?
After the initial split (initial formation of an alter), then new alters can form through trauma or for unknown reasons, yeah!
Do you know of any instances where alters develop super super early? Like at ages 1-3? Because I know something bad repeatedly happened to me at that age and I developed emotionally and mentally really quickly (like I was using full sentences before i could walk) and I was wondering if that could possibly be the cause of my DID?
Yeah, as far as I know DID can develop pretty early (I’ve heard cases where it supposedly started under the age of 2 but that’s not common). 3 isn’t too early, I think.
(also one trauma can’t cause DID, so unless it was repeated, that’s probably not it)
