Actors role playing DID can be identified from differences in brain activation patterns, compared to people with DID - and brain activation patterns depend on whether an trauma holder alter / EP is in charge or a Apparently Normal Part / host - supporting the Theory of Structural Dissociation of the Personality (TSDP).

Multiple brain scan studies support structural dissociation, brain activation differences between alters, brain activation differences between people with DID and healthy controls or trained actors pretending to have DID.

Regions of the brain activated are those known to be associated with self-referencing and sensorimotor actions, but not the regions linked to imagination

It can suck having to explain DID to singlets because most simply don’t comprehend that alters are not pretend, alter egos, or hallucinations, they are real and equal parts of myself. I feel like hosts are sometimes treated as if they are the “original” and the rest of us are just parts that “aren’t actually me”, but they are. We’re all the original. We’re all pieces of what should be one integrated personality, they aren’t any “less me” than any other part of me. We’re all individualized pieces of who I am as a whole.
