Decision making- vulnerability

I’ve just received a summary of my recent post diagnostic(Asperger’s) appointment.

One of the things it mentions is decision making, and that due to being vulnerable I might need the help of an advocacy service to make sound decisions .

The summary mentions that I also have a dx of schizophrenia. I am wondering how others here are as to decision making , whether they have just psychosis/schizophrenia or psychosis/schizophrenia +Asperger’s/ASD

I have no problems with decision making except when I am psychotic then my decision making ability goes out the window.

^ That suggests decision making deficits with psychosis/schizophrenia are state rather than trait based . However I think that cognitive effects of p/s would have a bearing on decision making .

I’ve talked to my best friend about this. He has workers and family at the ready for help with this. They encourage him to think for himself within guidelines.

Hope this helps.

No problems with decision making when my insight is intact.
