Thank you so much for providing thorough details of the experience. Most people just use technical terms without giving exact examples. So thank you again. Well said.
I was diagnosed with schizophrenia 5 years ago and at that time the people that diagnosed me said I have some strong autistic traits and wanted me to look into that, I ended up going through a lot and wasn't able to process that possibility. I've been hallucinating since kindergarten.

I have experience of psychosis poss asd but not diagnosed yet , do you feel in relation to the delisions coming for you from a place of fear that an over anxious over stressed autisti c mind will process unconscious material visually so its experienced viscerally rather than as a neurotypical person who would have unconcious material remain unconcious - but in people who are autistic the subconscious mind brings up the unconcious material through a waking conscious mind . You have experienced similar delusions to me and voice hearing etc - maybe our brains create a scenario that makes our irrational thoughts plausible . If that makes sense . Im still recovering after the third pyschosis breakdown , all of which have followed significant traumatic or traumatising experiences or periods in my life . Or long term periods of supressing trauma or it not being recognised by others - also cptsd which had gone untreated and undiagnosed for 2 decades . Flash backs to psychotic episodes also means its difficult to discern if its a relapse of the psychosis or a flashback to the trauma of the psychotic delusions and hallucinations .
Hello, I'm David from the video. This is quite similar to my experience. I would definitely agree that my psychosis is my brain trying to make sense of irrational things. In particular, trying to make connections between repeated and seemingly unconnected traumas. I am very much of the opinion that my psychosis is a manifestation of my deepest fears and traumas.
@@emergentdivergenceI’ve been struggling to understand this for the past ten years, it becomes increasingly worse when drugs and stress are involved. I’m adhd waiting for an Autism diagnosis and it would be great if there is someone to talk to about these episodes who understands.
The more your environment criticized you & the less understanding you got from your environment the worse it got. It is important to radically change environment something some experience in the person's life makes it worse.
Theres actually a higher correlation of mh disorders in the autistic community and a higher insidence of psychosis depression and anxiety than those without autism including incidence of schizophrenia. The percentages are higher than the nt population . Significantly higher .
Lovely watch x.
More compassion and understanding from society x
