"My life as a dissociate personality" did indeed come from us, and it hasn't been added to [community profile] pluralstories purely because we read it long enough ago that we feel like we'd need to reread it and haven't had the time! If you submit it, you'd be doing us a favor and sparing us the work, since it's the earliest medical multi autobiography I know of.

As for why Ronnie Gladden may not have considered plural, well, if they're online in social media, they might've been beaten HARD with the clubs of "only white women get multi," and/or "you must have THIS MUCH doctor approval to count," a doctor approval that can be EXTREMELY difficult for people who aren't perceived as white women to get. It's also quite possible they've read that multiplicity in general is a racist hoax invented by white people to express racial tensions. There's a LOT of stigma and difficulty, and they have enough to carry already that I can't blame them for maybe not wanting THAT one on top of it.
