We have had emails from people every now and then who are essentially asking us to diagnose them. They tend to describe one or two of the "classic", Sybil-like events like blackouts, or say that they get angry now and then and don't know why. Many of them just describe their abuse histories in very graphic terms.
Sometimes they don't leave their email addresses -- I don't know how they expect us to get in touch -- but when they do, we reply and ask them if they've ever sensed presences, or had any evidence that there were other people around. Most of the time, they don't write back.
The only sign of multiplicity we know of is presences. We don't know of any other way to tell, because all the other things on the checklists could have other natural causes, either psychological or physical.
