I have always dressed differently, looked and acted differently, and thought differently and have long been attracted to the metaphysical and the mystical.

If what you've described is a major criteria for schizotypal condition....I'm obviously not it....although I dress differently but its just because I can't get on with latest fashion trend...and I sometimes use non scientific words to describe things...simply because I don't know the exact word.... :D

I read about a form of Asperger's with schizotypal features, called Mendelssohn's syndrome. It is common in people of Russian descent.

on that last subject, you might be interested to know that there is a book called "The Emotionary" that contains words for feelings/thought that have not yet had formal words coined for them. :idea:
