| I'm curious as to why you think this might be schizophrenia-related. Did you seek help and have someone speculate that that's what was going on? If so, something similar happened to me about a year ago. The air conditioning went out in my apartment and the heat made it impossible to sleep. I went a ... |

| I have recently posted a similar thread in the Adult Discussion area titled Imaginary Friends. The majority of the responses were positive over there. Maybe you can dig it up and read what other people have posted on the subject in support of it. For the record, I too, have this issue. I disagree wi... |

They wanted me because they were lonely and desperate and I seemed gullible enough. None of them end well. As I mention... |

Tomboy4good:
An excerpt from what you wrote: "Mine were based on real characters"
[i]So are mine. I think you and i have virtually the same thing going on. I guess it really is time to discontinue the chit-chat about these imaginary people to my therapist, as she's clearly biased. |

| It feels like something is being inserted. At first, it hurts, then as the area begins to lubricate, the pain subsides. Over time, there is no initial pain. |

| Well, perseveration is partly related to that. But like you I am very interested in "insanity", and wish I was mentally insane, like schizophrenia.

| Yes, spaced out is often me. I once got in trouble for it while I was suppose to be learning a part for a play. Funny thing is, when I did this as a young child, they suspected autism. That would have been back in the 80's. As many of you know, Asperger's was only recently translated in the 90's if ... |

| As most of the others have already posted, No, autism and schizophrenia are not the same thing and are usually not linked. As with other disorders, there may be symptom overlap. It is easy to understand this confusion, because the same thing has happened to me. Most of my Asperger's traits have been... |
