The association between autism and schizophrenia spectrum disorders: A review of eight alternate models of co-occurrence

Although now believed to be two distinct disorders, autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) share multiple phenotyp…

According to this research paper there seems to be a strong correlation between ASD and SSD. Firstly, they both have higher than expected rates of co-occurrence:

There also seems to be a genetic overlap between ASD and SSD:

Those with ASD and SSD share common brain abnormalities:

And finally, there is an association between the two disorders in longitudinal and trait-level data, with ASD symptoms in particular being associated with a later risk of schizophrenia and children with ASD being more likely to report psychotic experiences in adolescence:

Aside from being doomed to be incels and KHHVs for the rest of our lives for being ND, we also have a much higher risk of becoming schizophrenic and literally going insane than NT normies. Autism is a curse

[SupremeAutist]

Two of my uncles developed it if I recall though I was told it was drug induced

 

[Cincel]

I've had some symptoms but nothing I can control. It's just ND behaviour mostly.

 

[ToBurble&Pine]

no
my lifestyle is already messed up so it wouldn't change much

 

[asuraxia]

i know an autismcel who developed schizophrenia at 15

 

[VλREN]

More fun for me

 

[cripplecel]

Maybe I’ll get

 

[proudweeb]

Nah in fact I probably already have it

I can still "code switch" in my mind between reality and unreality, so I'm still able to function in society

[zerozerozero]

i probably already am tbh. my dad was schizophrenic so its highly likely

 

[NeverGetUp]

No, I doubt I will develop schizophrenia and even if I do develop it, there is nothing I can do about it anyway

 

[manletcel1488]

My mom was schizophrenic and many of my family members are so it's possible but if I was going to get it, it would probably have developed by now.

 

[Friezacel]

I might already have developed schizophrenia

 

[Cryotron]

yes i always had that fear, glad i never got any voices nor hallucinations, it would be terrible to live with that.

 

[NIGGER BOJANGLES]

Idk, I think dementia is a far bigger concern with how bad my sleep is

 

[coping_manlet]

I don’t know about schizophrenia. That’s a very specific disorder

My mental state is degrading rapidly however, and I fear I will be a babbling lunatic in the next decade, like those alcoholic homeless guys you see having arguments with themselves on the sidewalk
