How Many Dx?

[nomads-quill.livejournal.com]

Ok, so I'm new here. Hello.

My T from ages ago was talking about some things she is doing with new therapists on rotation in her clinic. She is really trying to stress catching this Dx earlier than is standard. It got me to wondering...

D.I.D. was my 5th or 6th Dx. Historically, folks like us go through a lot of Dx before "they" get it right.

She even asked me to write something that she could use in her teaching to help illustrate for new Ts how important it is to see the signs. How my life could have been a bit better-slash-different had the many Ts before her noticed all the signals.

And I guess I am curious as to the responses you guys might give if asked such a question.

I apologize if this is chunky or not clear enough. My head is loose and it's hard to stay on topic just now.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. :) I don't front all the time, but as far as I am aware I'm fronting most of the time. A little bit less lately than before but then who knows. I remember times when I lived solely inside (the year the body was 10) but was out a little bit. Strangely this didn't clue me into the fact that I was multiple.

Also, since I'm living in Hungary (native speaker of English) there's some limits on language ability. I assume that the people who were fronting more when we first got here learned as I was learning but there are some that haven't either. And when one of the blends up into me when I'm out I start making beginner mistakes again.
