i know i dont fit any disorder, and that is annoying... i know that people always just assumed that i was psychotic because i am difficult to understand, awkward... i was interested in the parts on the list about getting hyper and walking excessively... i did that... i had states that were like mania but were not like mania...
*******it, i just want to be able to say what i have! oh well... if there were a name for it...

Can I tell you about my sons behaviors/symptoms and you can compare them to yours. My son spends a lot of time jogging around the house. After school he comes home and spends about 50% of his time jogging and laughing with music playing either out loud or through his earphones. He tries to do homework and can work for 1/2 hour but then needs to run and laugh.
He expressed delusional thinking while he wasn't on meds but now is on meds again and that has gone away. But the laughing and running constantly never goes away - especially now that schools on. He even jogs at school during his off block. This started the summer of 2014 when he was 14.
As for a dx: one psychiatrist said he was developing schizophrenia but we fired him and our new psychiatrist says he's probably on the autism spectrum and it has led to this anxiety and psychosis looking behavior.
What do you think of this?
