I don’t think I have autism, but I do kind of act a bit weird sometimes. Like my sz is gone now, but I still have massive social anxiety, and it probably stems from that my personality is a bit different. Also you think getting those problems would have gone away when my sz went away. Maybe they are interlinked a lot more than we know and medical research has not really focused on the social aspects because they are more focused on hallucinations as the problem.

I used to think I maybe have mild autism. But idk keep forgetting to ask my mental health nurse.
I mean if it’s not mild autism it’s just social anxiety as you mention. Social anxiety is a serious issue for psychosis so I don’t take it lightly. Cos u know chronic bad stress may contribute to psychosis, in my case.

I hope you do. Its not easy to overcome I don’t think. I think it takes a lot of time to rebuild different ways of thinking about things.

I dont mind just being a bit awkward though. I think the biggest problem from it is starting somewhere new like work or university, I kind of hate doing that.

probably 5% comorbitity? Its hard to find but your doctor could look into it. There is some overlap.
I got mine from drugs 10 years ago. I have other theories too that everyone thinks are delusions, but I feel like i know the truth…montauk project, aliens, and trauma.

I think autism ppl have more difficulty with language and emotions expression. Severe sz and negative symptoms can do that too though.
