A member asked:
Is there any link at all between schizophrenia and aspergers syndrome? are the two related in any way, shape or form?

It's being studied: No clear answers yet - maybe never. There are enough similarities in the presentation of these conditions that people are curious. Both are likely to include poor, at least unusual, social skills and difficulty or disinterest in relationships. Aspbergers' alone does not include disturbing perceptions and thinking - like hallucinations and delusions. Early DX may be provisional to rule out one.

New perspective...: Research has shown that a significant number of people previously diagnosed with schizophrenia are being re-diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), to include Asperger's. This is happening due to our increased understanding of ASD and its effects. Talk to your MH provider about what this means for you.
