Unsurprisingly, researchers believe that autism and schizophrenia share the same genetics background with antagonist symptomatological expressions : hypo- and hyper- intentionality. Both diseases have probably in common a defective body scheme integration.
Would you say that it is difficult to connect to your body and through it to reality?

Yeah I feel I have an abnormal disconnect of body and mind
Absolutely. It’s very difficult to connect that this thing I’m lugging around is me. Actually, I don’t connect. I feel trapped inside most of the time and believe I’ll be released one day. Death isn’t the end, to me it’s the beginning of freedom…
Anyway, I identify with the disconnect.
Sometimes it’s hard to think that this brain of mine is me and it controls my whole body? What am I? Wtf! Since I don’t have a brain, it’s elsewhere, and it controls my body, then it’s hard to connect brain to body. I think I’m exaggerating but it feels that way sometimes. Looking in the mirror both helps and hurts this thinking.
I do feel a disconnect, but then i get very self conscious which is strange because if i don’t identify with this body why do I care so much with how people think of it and its behaviors?
What does schema mean? But yes I probsbly do feel some disconnect.
Sometimes if I focus in a particular way I can’t see really well but my frontal love seems to be working and in control.
I am spirit/soul, and will exist long after this body has died. I wish I was more grateful and took better care of this “vessel”. I feel bad about my bad attitude and mistreatment of it.
I look in the mirror and I recognize the face, etc that I’ve been in for over 49 years now, but only in the same way I recognize my cat or my car. I am not this body and this body is not me.
