Paper: Is schizophrenia on the autism spectrum?

Post Reply New Topic

Aspies, and auties, dont hear voices, nor see hallucinations, as a rule.

But some people who have those psychotic symptoms DO also have aspie like traits. A knew a young lady who spent much of her childhood in institutions (but now has a great job, and great marriage BTW but I digress), but who had obsessive interests in things like dogs (she became a living textbook in dog breeds and in dog care and training, for example ).

Autism seems very different from psychosis to me. But that doesnt mean the same person cant have both. Autism was originally called "childhood schzophrenia". But then they divorced it from schzophrenia. But now the OP is trying re marry them again.
