This is not syscourse persay (i am pro endo) but it says nowhere in the DSM an age limit of when trauma happens for DID or OSDD to form. So i dont understand when people comment like, you cant possibly have that bc you got that trauma at _______ age. Which even if it was, brains are very complicated. What if they are intellectually disabled or have other mental disabilities? Surely that wuld affect how DID or OSDD forms. There are also cases of DID and or OSDD forming in adulthood, so it isnt imposible. Im just tired of people gatekeeping identities when it wasnt a requirement in the first place

Hihi!

We had to reread the DSM-5 for this one (page 331 of the DSM, page 726 of the PDF)!

But, yes! You are actually correct on this one, the DSM does not specify an age cutoff and if you'd like to check for yourself, read it (linked above, it's free)! We've heard whispers of the idea that other disorders such as ASD can affect the age a CDD develops at, given that neurodevelopmental disorders do in fact affect your brain development! It's in the name! We've just never seen any concrete studies on it, if anybody has one we'd love to read it!

Below the cut we'll insert some screenshots we gathered that support what you're saying!

Note the use of the word "often" in the last screenshot, often ≠ always!

Plus the full diagnostic criteria, which never mentions age.
