I scored 96th percentile on a Stanford test and looked through all my old records recently my dad saved. I was very smart but not as much anymore. I took my GED with minimal studying right after I was released from Sheppard Pratt in Baltimore Maryland. I passed with above average scores. While I'm highly verbal and good in languages science and history I have never been good in math.

I don't really know what my illness should be.

Schizotypy and autism share some (perhaps superficial) commonalities: ideas of reference, paranoia, odd behavior, odd speech. However differences surface if you look deeper. One study abstract says autistic paranoia tends to be more based on cynicism than feelings of victimization when compared to schizo paranoia, for example.
Thanks for this!
