Can you have delusions at age 11?

you have delusions that u are not delusional , when u come back to reality u will “realize” what is “real” and u were delusional, that’s when u really getting out of delusion, i would say the more u getting realized the “reality” the less u will claim u are not delusional but i am still not yet at the point though.

There are difference between “distinguish” and “assertion” , in distinguish , u see “difference” and u experience them , in “assertion” u see what in ur mind and u keep enlarging them , also it is like sub-consciousness which u are talking to urself in ur mind with the things u see but not seeing the things outside ur body and make a “real” connection with them.

I thought kids that young lacked the thought processes for the development of delusions

I think it’s still difficult to tell between childhood imagination and delusions at that age. I was dx at 13, and had symptoms including delusions way before then. I differentiate the two between good and bad. If it was good, like jumping on floor tiles in a pattern because I think it will unlock a secret door, then it was my imagination. If it’s bad, like sleeping in the bathtub because I thought my room was full of carbon monoxide, it was a delusion.

Well my thoughts were of the bad kind

Also your method of differentiating is kinda not so good, there can be ”positive delusions”
