I have non-verbal episodes. But I am not sure if they are due to autism. I only started having them when I was 12, when I started to develop schizophrenia.
Is it possible that my schizophrenia is causing me to have non-verbal episodes and not primarily autism?
Note: I am diagnosed Schizophrenia NOS (but I have been diagnosed Paranoid Schizophrenia in the past).
