Ah, well. As long as the disorder itself isn't denied no matter the label.

Yeah, schizoid is being taken out too. Dang, as I like that one.

I wonder, are they just going to view narcissism as a variant of a personality type? Not something that is actually wrong?

 They're taking schizoid out?  I like that one too, I identify with a lot of it.  :thumbdn:

It seems to me schizoids are like Aspies in almost every aspect except when it comes to the fact schizoids can be socially natural.

Am I right here?

 The psychologist who dx'd me also considered avoidant and schizoid personality
 disorders for me, and in truth I identify with elements of both!  :chin:

Also, schizoids usually prefer their own company to that of others. They may not feel the need to have friends at all. Whereas I think Aspies do want friends? Schizoids usually do not seek a diagnosis either, so it is an underdiagnosed condition.

 That certainly describes the way I was in my early years of school.  I loved to be alone
 at recess and just walk around thinking my thoughts, or swing on a swing if I could
 get one!  I used to lie and tell my mother I had played with other kids.  :nerdy:

Schizoid was my first diagnosis too.

It seems like there lumping it under Schizotypal Type when you read the criteria, same just a little broader it seems.

Same flavors, different names?  :LOL:

From what I have read, schizotypals often have beliefs in things like superstitions and the supernatural. They may have delusions about these. It is like one step away from having schizophrenia, imo.

What's the difference then between schizotypal and schizophrenia?

Schizotypal is a personality disorder whereas Schizophrenia is a mental illness that includes hallucinations and delusions that can be treated with medication so the person can (hopefully) lead a normal life. They are both on the "schizophrenia spectrum" though.

 This question has the potential to spawn an entire thread.  Run with it!  :thumbup:

Fucktardism?
Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.
