Anyone here with Brain in a Jar Syndrome?

Even if my ASD may be less severe than yours, my condition may be much more severe than yours. Other than ASD, there is no condition in the DSM or ICD which addresses my condition. I have made up my own names for my condition: “Alien Syndrome” and “Brain in a Jar syndrome”. I have associated the first with Asperger and the second with Autism in the past, but further reading on the subject was very disapointing. (Since it seems that “Brain in a Jar Syndrome” is likely causal to “Alien Syndrome”, I will call my condition BJS ). Although BJS is similar to ASD, the criteria in the DSM and ICD leaves out the core of BJS. The core given for ASD is secondary in BJS, and the questionnaires leave out the core of BJS. Thus, as seen as an autistic, my test results will say that I am mild ASD, where you would think that my problems would be less than someone with a more severe ASD. However, someone considered severe ASD may test as a mild form BJS, if there was a test for BJS.
“Alien Syndrome” refers to the fact that I am profoundly different from NTs in almost every psychological realm, making Earth truly the “Wrong Planet” for me. Anything you mention, from the cuteness of babies, to liking to play games, to what “sex” even means, to life memories, etc, etc, I am so non-NT that the language tself is quite unusable for me to express my feelings and orientation to life.
“Brain in a Jar Syndrome” is a disability primarily about dealing with the environment itself; it is not primarily social. But since most people are very environmentally oriented, I would have trouble finding common ground with them. Thus my communication problem is not with articulation or empathy, but rather with incompatibility of message. In BJS, the brain is very high functioning, but it cannot connect to the environment well. I know this sounds like Autism in a way, but not as I see it in the DSM or ICD.
As I now see “Alien Syndrome” as a part of BJS, perhaps a deeper understanding of ASD will see BJS as part of ASD. I do have an official DX of mild ASD, but that is very misleading, especially the “mild” part.

I don't have Brain in a Jar Syndrome, but it does sound pretty interesting.

The closet thing to what you described is schizotypical personality disorder.

I don't think so, I am nothing like you. I can drive, work, live on my own, I also played games as a kid and liked playing with other kids. I hated being alone. I read your blog.

By Brain in a Jar syndrome, do you mean like you would rather just interact with the world using your mind and do things with your thoughts, rather than having to physically move your body? That's how I feel most of the time.

As for being alien, often when I am around other people I feel as if I am an extraterrestrial sent here to observe humanity. Most human behavior just seems that bizarre to me.

I have "Outer Space" syndrome. That's something kids called me back in grammar school.
From my perspective it's "In Own World". From their perspective it was "Outer Space"
My universe is inside my head and it is difficult to interface with the "alternate" or "parallel" universe outside my head.
I will call it Outer Space Syndrome.

I've never heard of "brain in a jar" syndrome. When I first saw the topic I didn't even know that was a real thing.

Ever read "The Bell Jar," by Sylvia Plath?

Green0star: You never heard of "Brain in a Jar Syndrome" because I made up the term.

Kraftiekortie: "The Bell Jar" does not apply to me because my condition is inborn, consistent, and is the real me. In that way, my condition is like Autism.

Dianthus,
I would rather just take in experiences and not interact with the world at all, except with my immediate family members (including people who are not in my family now, but who I wish were).
If you are similar to me, and we both have "brain in a jar syndrome", then please communicate with me more!
