yes in general a person can be diagnosed with more than one problem at a time, including having schizoaffective disorder and aspergers,
you dont necessarily have to have hallucinations to have schizoaffective disorder, the criteria is hallucination ****or**** delusions. Delusions are thoughts of things like thoughts that have no facts to back them up, example one time my medication was not right and it was causing me to think everyone was out to get me, lie to me, thought I heard people talking about me,....my treatment providers called this medication induced psychosis and medication induced delusions..
All these symptoms that you posted in this and your other posts can be just about anything.. see the problem with asking us here online what your symptoms are called is that we are not allowed to tell you what your problem is, doing that is called making a diagnosis and we are not allowed to do that on psych central...
we can tell you if we have had the same problems you have and what our treatment providers called it in ourselves..
for me these symptoms were called many things depending upon other accompanying symptoms... for example the blank stare was called catatonia, psychosis, day dreaming, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, dissociative reaction, medication reaction, lack of sleep, poor diet, MS, epilepsy, parkinson's disease......and many more physical and mental health problems....
Again we cant tell you what your problems are called because we are not allowed to diagnose each other here.
my suggestion go according to what ever your treatment providers have said this was, they are the ones that know all the different symptoms (maybe even some you did not realize was a symptom) that got you diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder.. maybe you can ask them to show you how and why they diagnosed you this way.
