At one level that is eclectic theory, but in practice it can mean that a person with OSDD has fewer adult parts to help share the load.

What I find really hard though is when I'm faced with evidence of them actually having switched out and done things. In the words of Sue Richardson (2011): Both OSDD and DID are the result of the spontaneous action of the brain in response to trauma. onset of diagnosable symptoms can occur much later in life. i hear them in my head (they're constantly coconscious with me) and they have very limited control of the body (like, being able to move my arm or something) but they never assume full executive control. In OSDD-1, severe childhood trauma causes different identities, known as alternate states of consciousness (alters) to form. This may manifest as ego-alien thoughts, feelings, emotions, opinions, preferences, urges, or actions. I don't have OSDD/DID, but on two occasions where I was in an unsafe and triggering situation, the first time I turned into this older masculine and calm dude, the second (yesterday ago heh) into this caring 40yo+ female motherly figure. What are your similarities and differences between each other, what common ground can you find? I think these lower end spectrum OSDDs/dissociative mechanisms are really hard to recognize and categorize. It is not intended to be used as a substitute for professional diagnosis and treatment. When she explained the differences, in a way I could easily understand, it did make sense. But people may be diagnosed as OSDD as opposed to dissociative identity disorder simply because their parts didnt show up on cue at a diagnostic interview. Eventually it became apparent that a few of us were able to front (like 2-3) and some others if forced, on rare occasions, or highly triggering moments to them. This is certainly the view of a number of experts in the field. In later years, I hid in an invisible soundproof egg.

Both full switches and "partial intrusions" of alters are described in more detail by Dell in the paper"A New Model of Dissociative Identity Disorder". But if up to three times as many people receive a diagnosis of OSDD/DDNOS compared to dissociative identity disorder, it would suggest that the definition of DID is too narrow. Thats not really how DID and OSDD work. Your healing journey is very much appreciated and is very encouraging! We went from being able to communicate internally very clearly but with strong amnesia walls and difficulty distinguishing switches happening between neutral and non-violent alters (and no switches happening for a while or ever for some alters), to having all but two of us go dormant and it just being a daily head-to-head assault of violence and abuse, to taking anti-psychosis which created communication barriers in the system but obviously didn't "cure us", to years later being confronted by the disorder again and seeing alters come back from dormancy changed or fused, to finally working together coherently, to now 6 of us in a happy system striving to make a life worth having fought for. I've had alters who have sabotaged my life and done awful things. thank you so much. Where EPs are also less autonomous and less likely to be out, these traumatised parts of the personality can end up being neglected or ignored: if a person with OSDD has non-distinctive traumatised parts of their personality, it can be harder to give them a voice and the time and space they need to bring their trauma to the fore, than it is for a clearly individuated EP with a name and age. But other people with OSDD do indeed have less obviously distinct parts of the personality and report feeling perplexed when they read about people with DID talking about their 4-year-old part called Alice or their 6-year-old boy part called Ricky. Why am I here? This can occur slowly, with obvious signs, or very fast. Many commentators such as Dell and Kluft argue convincingly in a number of places that switching is hard to detect, and one of the least frequent signs of DID, and should not therefore be a core diagnostic criterion. In short, the UK-favoured ICD-10 is based on research and clinical literature from before 1980 little wonder that dissociative disorders are so poorly picked up in the UK.
