| Let me share you an example, it is Christianity. Christianity makes strong assertions, and assertions that can be proven false. When an agnostic claims "we do not know all about the universe, so maybe there is a god and we can't know that for sure". It does not apply to the Christian god. Let me li... |

| I hate being touched by people too, yet I love having my feet rubbed as it makes me so calm. Also love stroking my animals, and the feeling of silk. I used to, and still sometimes do, rub my hands back and forth on carpet until i get that weird feeling in them and it feels all smooth. I hate wearin... |

| I have a sensitivity to touch, I hate it when people touch me, and every little amount of pain hurts a lot. I am also highly ticklish, and am very picky about what clothing I wear because many textiles are too hard, make me too sweaty, and are too uncomfortable. And I constantly have to fix my under... |

| I have Schizoid Personality Disorder, so, in my mind, I have a completely different way of thinking than people labeled "NT," as SPD is literally a different way of thinking, which is why people are debating that it is not a "disorder" at all. But if I have SPD, am I automatically labeled as NT beca... |

| If you were a schizoid, you probably couldn't be bothered making an account and posting about it. They don't care. That's rather stereotypical of you. No, it's a defining characteristic of Schizoid Personality Disorder. Most people who believe they're schizoid really aren't, they just like the idea... |

| I just wanted to add again: You can have more than one diagnosis! It's even very very common, I also do. Of course you can have more than one diagnosis, I was simply talking about autism and schizophrenia. You can definitely have bipolar and autism, or Multiple personality disorder and aspergers. |

| I heard that Schizoid Personality Disorder is caused by an uncaring, neglectful parent. But I also think that this "cause" is a bunch of bull because that's the exact same "cause" they used to explain autistic people's "lack of empathy" and "rigid when touched" symptoms not too long ago. What do you... |

| The results of my psychological testing is in, and I have been diagnosed with "Schizoid Personality Disorder." But was also told that I have "traits of Aspergers" as well. I really don't know what to say or think about this. As I honestly believed I had pure Aspergers. Now I am told that I have its ... |

And, in general, what are your personal opinions about it? Citations are highly welcome, and strongly recom... |

| I have heard differently. I have heard that it is the same mutation, but in different directions. Like right hand and left hand amino acids. So having them together would not work. That is why the DSM-4 states that: "Criteria are not met for another specific Pervasive Developmental Disorder or Schi... |
