    No. That is just their names. Not from books, cartoons, no... just their names.

    Rogue's name has nothing to do with xmen, and is actually a nickname.

    Sorry for the knee-jerk response... most people who say I'm bullshit would be making a joke. My apologies for making the assumption. No... we had our names long before we had ever even heard of Harry Potter.

    Mistaken for deaf

    My earliest memories include my headmates, but I didn't understand who they were at the time. I don't have any memories in which they don't exist. They would say the same if you asked them.

    Actually, I hate Harry Potter and think it's the second dumbest thing written. Why? There a multiple joke in there at my expense?

    Of all the members of my system, I am the only one to have posted on this site. There are a total of 9, including myself. Since you asked, I'm Julie. There is also Mia, Luna, Pastel, Rogue, Kate, Jenn, Lillian, and Rebecca. All of them are very different. I actually don't have much in common...

    Mistaken for deaf

    Like I said, I don't need everyone to believe me. Especially since none of you have met me in person, I could say absolutely anything on the web. I have my friends who accept me as I am, and the purpose of starting this thread was that I had a question I wanted answered. I'm not here to convince...

    Mistaken for deaf

    They do, to varying degrees, and they each sound different. No. I have had no such evaluation, even when we had made our way to the Talented and Gifted program. (Not to insult my headmates, but I am the smartest in our system. We were removed from the Talented and Gifted program because I...

    Mistaken for deaf

    What I bolded is exactly what I try to get across from people. If what I claim is wrong, and you believed me... How bad can that be? You entertained the ramblings of some random person on the web. However, if I am right and genuine... wouldn't it be worse to have dismissed somebody as a liar...

    Mistaken for deaf

    I definitately agree that being skeptical is not a bad thing. If nobody ever questioned what I said about my situation, I'd be very concerned. Lack of case studies, and 99% having trauma... Natural multiples don't show up at psychologists offices and thus don't get studied. Only people who are...

    Mistaken for deaf

    Firstly.. Allow me to clarify. Not truly no sound, but no vocal sound. I gasp, I can make non vocal mouth sounds. My apologies for not being specific. In fact, I have quite an arsonal of non-vocal sounds that I do use to get someone's attention, and even communicate a few basic things with...

    Mistaken for deaf

    This is not us. All of us communicate. I don't always know what my headmates are up to, but that is only because I don't stick my nose in their bussiness. I don't need to see one of my headmates being intimate with their partner. (We are also very honest with that. If any of us is dating, their...

    Mistaken for deaf

    It's different than selective mutism though. Selective would mean there are places I can speak. However, no matter when or where I am front, I can't speak. The experience of speaking is so foreign to me that I only recently learned that people can feel their own voices in their throats. It just...

    Mistaken for deaf

    Only myself, Julie. In fact, I haven't even told the others I am here. They don't really have reason to know where I am online. I'm not sure I see multiplicity as "issues above and beyond". When I'm front, and somebody mistakes me for deaf, that's the issue at hand. There's nothing about me...

    Exactly. I don't see multiplicity as a disorder, it's just a state of being. The only time multiplicity has been a difficulty is when people MAKE it a difficulty for me, such as by harassing, or deliberately trying to confuse my headmates and I (our boss does this. He will give one version of a...

    Mistaken for deaf

    I answered no because they weren't any sort of speech therapist. I've done my best to let go of the anger I had towards people in my past. I know my situation is by no means "normal", multiples are very different from singlets (non-multiples) Some, I can never forgive. Others, however, maybe...

    Special ed school, not Deaf school. I'm only now learning sign. I wish I had learned it years ago. At the time, I generally didnt talk to others. I used to be a very angry and bitter person. You would not have liked who I used to be, I sure don't. These days, I either sign or write. I have a...
