I was diagnosed with Asperger's last year, after seeking psychological help for depression and other various issues.
I just learned about Multiple Complex Developmental Disorder yesterday. As far I know it's not in the DSM or anything yet. Most of the information I found when I googled it was academic journals, but the wikipedia article (it's not great though) explains it pretty simply. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_c ... l_disorder
I thought AS explained my life but MCDD is a perfect description of my experience. I've always had a problem with "fabrication" telling elaborate false stories, although oddly enough I'm overly honest when it comes to anything that matters. I also confuse my fantasy life and reality and I've had memories of things that people around me assure me did not happen. I see supernatural things but I'm not sure if this is a psychotic symptom or if it's real. Because the close people in my life have experienced some of these supernatural things too.
I'm also kind of scared about a connection between MCDD and schizophrenia, which runs in my family.
PS: If you want to know what I mean about the supernatural, read some of my blog entries. The history category is probably the best picture of it: http://psychicwerecat.wordpress.com/category/history/
The older ones have more explanation of this stuff, particularly the Top Hat Guy and weird dreams and opening gates. I almost forgot about the car wreck dream too - that seems most obviously possibly psychotic to me.
A lot of these things happened with my friend, who has borderline personality (even though she denies it that's what two different psychologists told her), so I don't know if it could be a shared delusion maybe.
I don't know, do I seem psychotic or schizophrenic?
