Psychosis in autism

I experienced psychosis as a teenager but i thankfully recovered from it.

Thanks for sharing that article about autism and psychosis. Even though this thread is old, I think it's still great to share resources and knowledge with each other. It's awesome that you found something useful and want to pass it along. I gotta say, though, the brain can be so complex and tricky sometimes, huh? It's wild to think about how different conditions can overlap and affect each other. Like, I know autism isn't a type of psychosis, but it's interesting to learn about how they can coexist in some people.

Hello Fiddarl.  I am Number.  Welcome *(subject to you being human, rather than a twin bot with Inpruvi.)

Forgive my over-sensitivities..........could you please confirm that you are human Inpruvi......your post has the smell of a bot.

I have reached this summary conclusion because this is your first post - it has an embedded link entitled "how to help someone who is psychotic" and you say "Thanks again for sharing and for being a helpful member of the community.......in a thread that is generally 24 months old.....and I have never seen you here before.

I hate bots.

It's great that you're spreading awareness and providing resources for those who may be struggling. It's important to note that while autism is not a type of psychosis, some individuals with autism may experience psychotic episodes. For anyone dealing with this, it's crucial to know [link removed]. Understanding the symptoms and being able to provide support can make a huge difference. Thanks again for sharing and for being a helpful member of the community! Good luck and be happy!

This is a discussion I started with my old account - I'm just reviving it for the sake of a few recent related discussions.

This looks helpful (about hallucinations) - I can't be sure that the ads are okay though and keep in mind that it is an American site.

Oh - sorry to hear you became recluse - perhaps time away from others was the key to it but I'd best not recommend to others that they shut themselves off completely.  

Looking back i just became recluse for about a year and became more stable,there was a lot of ritual behaviour ,i used to search the house everytime i entered it ,all the cupboards under the bed, the attic . .   

I'm sorry to hear that you went through this.  If you don't mind me asking, how did you come round from it - it might be really helpful for people to know.

Thank you.  I have a  brilliant son for sure

I should add that I'm sure you are a brilliant parent.

I just leafed through it, it was interesting. I am no expert at genealogy though.L

argactil became notorious as the medical equivalent of a sledgehamner. 

This might say a bit more, I've not read it yet

I've never heard of largactil -I'll have to look that up.

I know autism was called a psychosis, I remember it being called that in a 70's documentary that came up.

Not so long ago Oprah interviewed a child, a January Schofield, said to have experienced late onset schizophrenia. She was dosed up to the eyeballs with largactil, though some suspect the diagnosis might have been wrong.

Schizophrenia in children would also come with active hallucinations. 

I never heard or saw things imcidentally, some of my obsessions seemed to have similarities with January's though. 

I understand definitions have changed over time. I finally found confirmation on Wiki that so-called childhood schizophrenia would not be called that now, not since the 89's. In the 60's and early 70's I was being labelled as prepsychotic.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
