the only other symptoms of a mental disorder ive hard are periods of no sleep followed by periods of too much sleep and agression im on melotonin for the sleep thing

so 'that hyper feeling you get sometimes' might be related with this, no?

You should definitely discuss this with a medical professional.

I know your next appointment isn't for 3 weeks, but if you phone up and explain what has been happening, they might bring your appointment forward.

As for what this could be, well, it could be any of the things people have already suggested here - schizophrenia, some kind of panic disorder, sleep disorder, medication reaction, it could even be extreme stress.

I don't know if it is something that could be directly attributed to AS. Although, interestingly, some people with Tourette's Syndrome experience 'intrusive thoughts' and as TS in a neuro-developmental disorder (like AS) perhaps there could be some connection - but I really can't be sure of this - you really need to consult a professional.

Feeling hyper and having hallucinations could also be a symptom of bi-polar disorder, which could also be responsible for the sleep problems you have.

But you MUST see a doctor as soon as you can.

If you’re worried just tell your parents that you’re experiencing visual and audible hallucinations and you’d like to see someone about it.

It’s possible that you’ve had schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder your whole life and you were diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder due to social and academic difficulties that you experience – onset of symptoms can be ambiguous with mental disorders, as is their severity.

girl7000, my hallucinations were supposedly due to panic attacks caused by my OCD.... So it's possible that extreme anxiety can cause such a thing, i.e., social anxiety directly attributed to an autism spectrum disorder.

Let's get more information.

So how many times would you say you have experienced something like this? How long has it been since the last time? Oh... also do you live at home with parents, or maybe with roommates at school?

aspie17 assuming this isnt some kind of prank you do need to go to thr doctor now , not in 3 weeks . bipolar can get worse and those hallucinations sound very schitzophrenic and manic episodes as well as depresive episodes can cause severe conseqeunces. Its not something to be joked about . There are other causes of hallucinations too such as lack of sleep and sleep disorders but were not drs and cant diagnose over the internet , but if what your saying is true go to the dr now .

Whilst people may think that having voices telling you to kill people is extremely worrying and you need to drink anti-psychotics until you cease being, it’s really not as bad as it sounds. The same can be said for seeing stuff that isn’t “there”. This isn't to say that experiencing hallucinations is to be taken lightly, actually it is; they're there and there's nothing you can do about them anyway other than ignoring them, and if they ain't caused by some form of malignant disorder like a brain tumour or something (the real reason for seeing a doctor; to rule out such things), you’ll have to accept that it happened and leave it at that until you’re given a diagnosis. To reiterate: See a professional as many have said and tell her what you experience now and have previously experienced.

Schizoaffective disorder is similar to schizophrenia which is similar to an autism spectrum disorder barring the hallucinations and delusions; mania (the “hyper” feeling) and depression (the “nothing” feeling) is prevalent in schizoaffective disorder compared to schizophrenia, as well as times when you seem to need no sleep at all with periods of constant sleep and/or tiredness. (This is extremely generalized, but yeah....)

Here's another one from "Hagakura" that everyone may enjoy: Among the maxims on Lord Naoshige's wall there was this one: ''Matters of' great concern should be treated lightly.'' Master lttei commented, "Matters of small concern should be treated seriously."
