Is there a stigma attached to mental health?

[Jack]

I just think this- if the equations he apparently busts out are fake, then he has schizophrenia. If they are real equations, then he is aspie.

Not really understanding this thought process.

Well, if he is doing fake equations then it is some kind of delusion or confusing thought process, which makes sense for a schizophrenia diagnosis. If the equations on the other hand are not delusions and factoring in his logical conversations and interactions, he is most likely misdiagnosed.

Know a young schizophrenic with genius IQ; they can be intelligent too.

It doesn't follow. Have a look at what John Nash was up to in the 80s.

[Jack]

Yes, but he is too logical to be schizophrenic.

Sigh. Maybe best to just leave the topic alone, like you said.

Why pathologize this behavior?

Why not it's something to post about, of course I hold myself to a higher standard and when I have nothing to add I take the high road and just post tits

[Jack]

Now that makes sense.

If you don't want to gossip about him here, then don't .

I'm not gossipping. Wanted to share a story.....and couldn't include all details. Then you responded as if I was saying anyone with schizophrenia does not know how to do equations and that is not what I was saying AT ALL.

[Jack]

Armchair diagnosis just irritates me in general, SG. Nothing personal. Didn't mean to botch your story.

[sg1008]

There, deleted it. Won't post about such things ever again for fear someone will assume I am making a statement about an entire population. I don't appreciate being talked to as if I said people with schizophrenia cannot not have a high IQ, or cannot do equations. Never said it, never meant it, never even thought it. I know very intelligent ppl with schizophrenia as well. My uncle among them. What I think about people with schizophrenia, and pointing out a possible misdiagnosis to a staff which has never heard of aspergers, are two different conversations.

[Jack]

No need to delete anything. Your wording was what it was, and just misunderstood obviously.

[Jack]

Sent you a pm; wont make things worse.

[Pyraxis]

Yes, keep pitching a fit.  Is that what this place has come to? Please tell me I'm not watching a PC-language walking-on-eggshells snitfest.

It's not to bother. Hopefully SG realizes there's no need to consider shells with me, though does sometimes say provocative things which I likely won't attempt to further respond though others might. Jack's approach with people may be neither sweet nor perfect, but it's important for it to be what it is and I2 standards don't have a factor in that. Some appreciate it and some don't. Some react reflexively to a challenge as an emotional challenge, and that's a consideration in future interaction. Personally have no interest in making anyone cry, quit, give up, whatever it might be called, so consider it fine to know and consider the shells of others. It's good practice for real life.

[sg1008]

Nah Jack, I don't feel like shells. I don't think I've ever gone and deleted stuff before--That was me throwing a rage. I couldn't get my meaning across without being misinterpreted and it made me  . Not that it needs explanations. In real life people throw rages too and we're allowed to do that so long as we don't go on and hurt people, which I'd never dream of.
