Would you be friends with someone who has schizotypal? And if you find out someone you're friends with had it, would you end it? Schizotypal personality disorder or STPD is a mix of autism spectrum disorder, BPD and schizophrenia. The difference is that unlike with schizophrenia, you won't have hallucinations. Also unlike schizophrenia, it can be developed through neglect, abuse and trauma alone even with no predisposition. There are abandonment issues like with borderline personality disorder, and there are a lot of traits of autism. In the newest DSM, it stopped being a personality disorder, and is instead called simply "schizotypal disorder"There has been a lot of awareness about autism and such, and now neurotypical people don't mind being friends with autistic people, but i wonder what do you think about some of the less known neurodivergences?So, would you be friends with someone who has it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizotypal_personality_disorder
>>34440636Bump
>>34440636Yes, if a schizotypal person actually wants to be friends with me (which is uncommon for people with that disorder) I'd have no problem being their friend
>>34440636Oh hey that's what I have
>>34440636>There has been a lot of awareness about autism and such,LOL>and now neurotypical people don't mind being friends with autistic peopleLMAO EVENOh sure, they'll sit with you and have a conversation, but don't think it's anything other than a "school shooter insurance policy" for them at worst, and a virtue signalling pat-on-the-back at best. Ie. You're just a prop to them.
>>34440636yeah sure, I'd find a lot in common with them.
Fuck no. I don't even know what that is, but it sounds like needless effort for little or no gain. I don't even like making friends with autists and people with bad adhd because it's going to be a problem.
>>34442139>With bad ADHDYou saying there's a good ADHD?

>>34442229Bad as in more severe, worse than a lesser case. Although you bring up another good one: Autism.
>>34440636I've made friends with every type of person. Autists adhds ocds bpds npds aspds and the occasional schizophrenic and even schizotypal. The only ones that eluded my grasp were schizoids and histrionics. And the only one I refuse to be friends with are DIDs, because it's impossible. Schizotypals are fun but they don't get too close, they are fun because their pattern recognition is bizarre and they have very eccentric ways to describe their own realities, they often have very unique perspectives that carry the occasional banger of wisdom in them. Though schizotypals are harmless, if they also have ASPD as a combo, it's serial killer territory at that point. Both disorders are relatively harmless by themselves combine the two and it's an explosion.
>>34442234I think that's just the difference between medicated Vs unmedicated adhd. Before my medication, I was insufferable and could not be relied on. After medication I slowed down my thinking and could socialise better and am now dependable but not to the degree that I'd like, still a work in progress. Autists are the easiest to make friends with for me personally. Autists are like the capybara of disorders, they can chill with anyone even psychopaths. They're so nice and innocent even psychos appreciate them it's funny

Ie. You're just a prop to them.It's because normies still think Autism = retardation or social buffoon disorder. They haven't fully understood it's less to do with the mind and more to do with the nervous system. In my opinion autism shouldn't even be categorised as a mental health disorder in the psychological sense, more of a neurological disorder, something body related, like FND (functional neurological disorder). The only reason people wrongfully see it as a mental or social disorder is because of the speech areas of the brain being prone to overload. And because humans use speech to perceive personality or express it, they make misreads on autists all the time.In reality autists are just normies with spicy nerves and that's all
>>34442396I agree with everything but>In reality autists are just normies with spicy nerves and that's allAnd that's why all this "spectrum" bullshit needs to end, you can't classify 20 different closely related issues with one convenient (to nobody at all) umbrella term.
>>34440636Depends, if you have unparsable disorganized word vomit without actual conversation then no. Otherwise sure.
