Schizoaffective my ass. I'm pretty sure she's just a winning combination of autistic & delusional, à la CWC.View attachment 1624625
She's approved two more followers, but isn't tweeting anything she's been at 16 tweets for a few days I think. so even getting access would be pretty boring.
Schizoaffective disorder comes in two flavors: depressive type & bipolar type. To oversimplify, it's all the fun of schizophrenia with a mood disorder tacked on. But while schizophrenics have a flat or blunted affect, schizoaffective patients tend to be pretty expressive & emotional, at least in my experience. Her inability to emote makes me think she's just severely autistic. She throws a lot of tantrums but she doesn't seem particularly emotional.
Hey Manatee, what's your schizoaffective subtype? I'm curious.
EDIT: you can apparently have a dual diagnosis of autism & schizophrenia spectrum disorders (schizophrenia is a spectrum as of the DSM V), but there's so much overlap in terms of delusions, odd behavior, disorganized speech, etc. that I'm not sure I totally buy it. Autism & schizophrenia also share the same gene signature, interestingly enough.
