Schizotypal PD is a differential diagnosis and is considered a part of the schizophrenia spectrum. There are a lot of similarities with ASD. Before I was diagnosed I wondered if I had that personality disorder.
Medication doesn't help much with ASD.
What do you think of the Asperger diagnosis?

Thanks I think asd is more fitting to what I feel. Just wish the VA doctors at the time had more experience before putting me on antipsychotics.
