They keep forgetting to tell you that I am autistic and have aspergers syndrome.
Aspergers syndrome is often misdiagnosed as schitzophrenia because autistic people have to mirror behaviors and that is mistaken for having an "alternate" personality. Autistic people look to you to learn an action or a behavior (mirroring) because they dont know how to manufest the behavior or action on their own. An example is on my own I look funny when I run, but if I look to my junior high school friend as a physical mirror then I can "adopt" her way of striding, so that I look less awkward. Same thing goes for words and likes and dislikes. Sometimes I have had to look to my friends for guidance and when someone realizes that I am a combination of a multitute of "friends" they mistake that as having "personalities". Example would be anyone that moves here from a different country and can learn english but dont know some forms of slang. I am very litteral, I know english, but the grey areas (ie, the slang) have been taught to this girl by my friends. That is autism, they dont know slang and everything is litteral, very few grey areas, we have to be taught to loosen up. That is not the same as having an alternate personality.
