my opinion is there is no "classic DID" as in everyone is the same way. yes it is true that everyone must meet the same diagnostics in order to be officially "labeled" DID. but how each persons system of alters is set up is how ever each person with the disorder needed in order to survive....

if you feel you dont fit the disorder's diagnostics anymore you can ask your treatment providers for a new psychiatric evaluation. it is very possible to have DID and then be down graded to one or more of the other dissociative disorders as a person heals.

the OSDD that you are thinking of looking into... please keep in mind that what you find on the internet and in books does not contain the complete information about that disorder. this disorder is like a category by itself. there are dissociative disorder labels that go with each description, and other accompanying symptoms/ problems that are not listed. you will not know which of the OSDD disorders you fit into until a treatment provider officially diagnoses you with this.... when you get the diagnosis it will have the words "OSDD - ________" the space is where a treatment provider must name on the files and tell you directly which OSDD disorder you have. thats what OSDD means... a treatment provider is diagnosing you with a dissociative disorder other than the other listed dissociative disorders that are public and they have to disclose (specify) what it is from the private listing that they have for this disorder category.

my point is checking into OSDD is not something you can do alone, you are going to need your treatment providers help for this, because much of it is coded treatment providers information only. you will need to go through a formal diagnosis process for this.
