I wouldn't say they're making it up, but there's a vast gulf between most people who ID as multiples online and the classic DID (which is probably not an independent psychiatric syndrome.)

It's a tricky one because obviously coming up with alternate, compartmentalized versions of your personality that you switch between to cope with things, or having extremely vividly realized 'other people' who live in your mind, are definitely things human brains can do, sometimes to a really extreme extent, but that isn't really what the DID that people dispute the validity of are talking about, and yet a lot of people who experience those things do try to fit themselves into that mold, and claim accessibility needs based on that rather than what they actually experience, for a variety of reasons (very few of which are faking for the hell of it.)

Let's just leave it that basically nothing in modern psychiatric diagnosis is truly valid, probably, and that makes all of this really hard to talk about and deal with.
