Whats with people claiming psychiatic lables cannot co-occur

Post Reply New Topic

I'm an example of "was diagnosed adhd first then asd later"-- I received my ADHD diagnosis at age 10 (in 1994), then was diagnosed AS at age 17 (in 2001).

The negative symptoms of schizophrenia are nearly identical with autism. They are just more mild in most cases, than autistic symptoms. The positive symptoms in schizophrenia are more severe in most cases.
And also autistic people can can paranoied or slightly psychotic under too much stress.
They are also related genetically.

I have mild PTSD and every year around the time of aniversary of the trauma I get psychotic like symptoms and I also can get nearly paranoied under too much stress. But I do not have schizophrenia.

The negative symptoms are the ones I refer to, but I should have pointed it out.
Thank you for doing it.
I do not mean that you have schizophrenia, what I meant is that someone with schizophrenia has likely autistic traits as well, but I see now that I didn't word it in a clear enough way.
I do not react well under too much stress as well and get the feeling of "loosing touch with reality" in a way.
If you get psychotic symptoms on the anniversary of the trauma I think your PTBS is quite severe and not that mild.
I heard of a therapy called EMDR which seems to work well on trauma, maybe you can check it out.

Well, now I confirmed that information.

Yes I heard about EMDR.
I looked some videos about it and I want to find a trauma specialist.

It's possible that my (are you from Germany by the way?) PTSD is more severe than I think it is, but even then for me I get easyer along with it, when I refer to them as "mild".


But I'm reading an interesting article (click) , saying that psychotic symptoms and PTSD are related to each other in some cases:

"The volume of studies with reasonable sample sizes and conservatice definitions of abuse that have replicated findings in this area suggest that a relationship does exist between trauma and psychosis for some people."

Thinking about the fact, that ASD and schizophrenia are related to each other, it actually makes sence to me that I react that way.

I am from Germany.


I cannot open this link somehow.


Now I read in this forum here, that they are not related, but just the opposites...with the negative symptoms being nearly identical to autism there should be some relation somehow.

Strange, I works when I try to open it!
(But it takes a while)

But you can also look into this:
Psychose, Dissoziation und Trauma (in German ) (click)
But I actually prefer the frist text, who is in english...!



Study Links Autism, Bipolar, and Schizophrenia (click)

Maybe I did not wait long enough as I thought it just blocked.


Interesting, thank you!
