Am i schizo or aspergers?

Post Reply New Topic

Not going to ask a bunch of questions trying to prove i am an aspie...or might be.

Just asking...from those who have read my posts/questions. Would you say I am schizo or aspergers or both?

My psych says i have all of the symptoms for aspergers but because a questionaire my mom took 5 minutes to fill out she said i had friends and was able to communicate. ( he does not know nor has never met my mom and if he had would know she is not very observant)

So since the symptoms for the two are the same except for magical thinking and sensory issues in many ways he says im either but it's inconclusive.

I have not told anyone...and i do not know why i am telling you people.

But I do hear voices and always have...but they are not mine. I always just thought it was a part of my thought process....but the thoughts aren't mine and are obstructive when I am trying to think.

So that would be one more tick on the schizo scale. But I am not sure how i can live as being a schizo....i could maybe live as aspergers+schizo or just aspergers but being just a schizo....is extremely depressing. I read an article that said 1/3 schizo's commit suicide.

Anyways....from those who sort of know me what do you think.....

Also i do for sure have ADD no hyperactive.

I have liked your posts: you seem very levelheaded. The voices part sounds schizy: stay out of long-term stressful situations. Otherwise, I don't know. I can frequently "smell" schizy, because my husband was Paranoid Schizophrenic (we didn't know it until he had a major break), and then I started remembering all the oddnesses in his personality that I'd always liked before, because they seemed in many ways to match my own oddnesses (I'm only recently diagnosed with Asperger's, but I always knew there was *something*.) He was a professional Psychologist himself, Master's Degree, and _he_ didn't know it until the major breakdown. He didn't commit suicide, anyway.

Keep talking to your psych. And tell him or her about the voices.
