I ask the following with utmost respect: do ya'll friendses who identify as plural systems use aspects intentionally or coincidentally to scoot and boot around symptoms of particular disorders? (as in: x has ADHD, but y doesn't)

How does one tell the difference between a 'part' and an 'alter'?

I'm NOT implying plurality or "DID" is a disorder, nor is this an attempt to conflate the two. It isn't - and I don't think of it that way. If this question is poorly framed, please feel free to correct me if you have the energy - I ask to learn.
