Anyone have autism and psychosis?

me too. Looks like they want to really work towards change. I have Zoom conversation with Sarah on Saturday. I volunteered to help translate website to polish. There is nothing atm in polish online that's not stigmatised.

I like that site! good find.

It's not my project, It's Sarah Bettin's for all autistic to participate autcollab.org/.../

I like that! Mosaic. Autistic Lenses Project. That sounds amazing. Tell us more!

haha, you've just described my experiences with it. I like it. I often do it on purpose. I plan to write about one of them in my autistic lenses for 'A mosaic of autistic lenses' project

This is something I'm interested in as I used to have hallucinations when younger. They slowly dissipated. But when I'm really tired there is a fine line between dreaming and being awake. 

My dreams are a whole other life - incredibly vivid. Sometimes so realistic that while in them I actually perceive entirely different futures (I tend to make goals, lists, create future possibilities while awake). There have been times where I've woken up either sad it wasn't real or relieved. But I do have entire cities or places I might return to while asleep.

I've read that the only difference between Schizophrenia and Autism is a little element in the brain responsible for differentiating between fantasy and reality and it can go awry. I am really fascinated by it. When exhausted, I might hallucinate.

Does everyone else here have vivid dreams? Or use picture-thinking to problem solve? The imagination is a powerful part of being human. Hyperphants, individuals capable of a rich imagination are usually Autistic.

My rarely happen outdoors so they don't worry me, it's just an entertainment, who cares it it's real or not?

I stopped trying to discern between something I tried to imagine and something I hallucinated, what's the difference anyway?

My dissociation doesn't evolve beyond 'Whatever' mode. However, I get pissed off when someone seeks my attention in that mode.

My insomnia tends to be coffee-induced. However, it can have a psychotic effect on me; approaching the need to sleep.

I have audio and visual hallucinations, insomnia and disassociation as well. The more anxious I get and the more tired, the worse they get and the harder it is to recognise what is real and what isn’t; I’ve had to make an agreement with myself that I won’t phone the police if I see anything because in the past I’ve thought I’ve seen people breaking in to places or damaging cars (and other more random things) and they’ve turned out to be hallucinations but were very realistic.

I’ve had this for years but only been diagnosed with ASD in the last few months.

I had delusions, visual and auditory hallucinations. Also, insomnia that accompanies it. I first got my psychosis diagnosis and then a few years later am in the process of getting an official autism diagnosis.

You definitely wont be the only one! Its not for me to diagnose anyone, but I think Ive seen a least two threads on here in recent days where a forum member appears  to be having what could be that. 

If its ok to ask, how does yours manifest? Delusions or hallucinations or both? Im sorry either way, as I know what a hard road that is to walk and I hope youre doing OK.
