I probably have something. I was never formerly diagnosed with anything. My parent had me go to a doctor once because they were worried about my mental state as a teen but I am pretty good at normie LARPing and got the doctor on my side, he told my parent something like "he just wants to go down the path less travelled".
More recently I mentioned some of my 'symptoms' to my GP last year during a rough patch. They thought it might have been anxiety and suggested some CBT resources but when I looked at them they were very normie focussed and talking about situations that have never bothered me.

The only thing that bothers me is other people, not my own thoughts. My best guess is depression as a result of untreated autism and/or narcissistic personalty disorder. Maybe ASPD but I have a cousin with autism and brother 10 years younger than me who was put on the autism spectrum for behaviours I had at his age.

>do they help you in science?
Absolutely not. I have a meticulous and inquisitive personality that helps but having my very will to live sapped out of me everytime I have to spend too much time around people is draining. Not to mention my habit of having a laser focus on things that are nothing but a distracting waste of time.

It may be related to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervigilance as in both cases the senses are absorbing more stimuli than normal, but hypervigilance is generally presumed to be directed towards social settings whereas when applied to academia it's just the ability to be hyper aware of information and process it all at a high rate. Both have the same result where you need to wind down afterwards.

started hallucinating hard on weed at 17 before i picked up on it not actually happening. tried to get through high school fine but ended up ostracizing myself to the entire grad year i graduated with. went to university. got in 1 fight among other things then got evicted from residence. supposed conversations i had with people didn't exist according to other people's reactions and i "was just stroking my ego." nothing eventful happened except for the sporadic visual hallucination event (only reason i'm aware of this is because of people's reactions) and i graduated. got a job, got fired from said job then got into quite a lot of fights during one rave i went to. now we're here after my family suggested mental health. my brother is bipolar but i am otherwise undiagnosed

“ADHD”. I use the quotes because anyone who has ever met me would not describe me as hyperactive or unfocused. I think “robotic” would be more accurate. Pretty sure it was a misdiagnosis of aspergers, but there is no drug they can sell you for that. So the doctor said ADHD and made my parents insurance cut them a check.

When I used to take kpins I would dissolve them under my tongue so they would kick in a bit faster. They taste good too at least. If you don't do that already I would recommend it.

I think I used to be anxious/depressed but was never formerly diagnosed, I'm okay now.
Sometimes have an irrational suspicion that people can read my mind, I know it's wrong but it feels real and can mess up my train of thought.

Visual snow, and possibly some epilepsy-like syndrome of the parietal or temporal areas. Visual snow provides a basis for observing some lower level functions of the mind, and sensory processing, and it can be used to have a finer grained sense of state, or as an interface. Visual snow is not static. It's dynamic and responsive to various internal and external factors.

Various things, but particularly chocolate, can bring back mild aspects of the Alice in Wonderland Syndrome stuff I had as a child. It'll seem and feel like the room is very large, the ceiling is high and the walls are huge. Or I'll look down and the ground will be far away. Longer term and more heavy use I've had days where I felt like no matter what I did I was stationary and everything else was moving. I'm walking and moving the world closer. I'm going down a winding road and rotating the world back and forth, parallax stuff and relative distance becomes highlighted. Other times moving closer to an object I'll perceive it as the object growing. Moving away it's shrinking. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and sleep deprivation slow down time sense. Marijuana pushes this to an extreme. It's as though there are more frames per unit perceptual time, the measure being relative to the speed of thought and motor output. Cacao does the opposite. I'll become superhumanly strong, won't feel my legs the same, and I can practically blink and I've traveled a great distance.

Trigeminal nerve pain has shown me the most. As I withered and saw myself crumbling away inside and out I learned to see positive and negative in every frame, and then if you have that perception, their presence and use is truly optional. It taught me to turn everything and anything to use, and see myself and my place in both the immediate and the greater world in a different way. I started to think about what "body" really is, and therefore identity in accordance with scale. It can't be described concisely.

Small things need not necessarily be small, and likewise with supposedly big things. Gets into self directed definition down avenues we don't necessarily find cause to think about, which ended up fitting neatly into other things, and my idea of association, memory storage, and the notion of a "logical framework". I think my brain may have started manufacturing adrenochrome at one point. I went to bed everyday knowing there was nothing other than how I would live the same torture tomorrow. I slept poorly. After three days straight of extreme pain up and my vision was pulsing on the peripheries. I saw flashes and everything looked and felt like it was melting, but in flashes. I went into the bathroom and turned on the sink faucet, and felt the water splash over my skin like colors and electricity. It was a surprising and unknown sensation.

Nerve pain and long term periods of intermittent starvation surrounded by minimal food intake were destructive and I deluded myself and suppressed and twisted my psyche heavily. But I was shown a lot, by force. Takes a long time to work out of that trauma programmed animal state and realize the measures you put in place and adapted to to keep going. Going down these avenues makes it clear what reality really is, what can be done to an animal, and what the mind is capable of. I spent a long time feeling like a split minded hollowed out husk of automatic responses, sleepwalking through life.

Hopefully some of the above is useful to whoever.

Anxiety and depression. It got really bad two years ago and I had panic attacks and felt really shit in general for no reason. It's sort of all right now. The only "help" I got through health care or the university systems was useless counselling (try breathing my dude lol) and an SSRI prescription which I never took.

I don't know all the things I've been diagnosed with because nowadays I don't bother seeing professionals and when I was diagnosed as a kid I was too young to remember properly. I do remember that I suffered from school fobia and separation anxiety w.r.t. my mom around the ages 7-11. I think there was some other stuff too but I don't remember, my childhood environment was a bit messed up. It was deemed unlikely that I could continue in a normal school but luckily I did. Also my mom died when I was 11 (solved the separation anxiety, also I watched her suffocate to death) and my dad died a year later from cancer which presumably left some trauma or whatever.

Nowadays I don't quite pass for a normie but it's not far off. I'm quiet and reserved around people I don't know well enough to be comfortable around and I have a hard time making meaningful friendships or really fitting into any group. This means I absolutely fail at the networking meme which will probably bite me in the ass big time when I leave the adult daycare that is postgrad.

Also I get very lonely which makes a bit of a vicious cycle with my anxiety/depression, ensuring my life also sucks and I want to kms.

I'd probably be doing better in every way, including my studies, if I didn't have these issues. However, since my life is devoid of any other meaning I do tend to put a lot of effort into my work so there is that.

Severe depression comes and goes, social anxiety always pervades. Motivation is typically bottomed. As a student, it doesn't help and I usually procrastinate. The only aspect of which it does out, is the fact that I have no friends or social life, so 99% of my time is free and I can spend the night(s) before exams studying, although truth be told the majority of that time is fiddling with my phone or doing other things.

I can tell you for sure that while i had psychosis my thinking suffered i had anxiety and it made it hard to think, now the brain disease also made it more difficult to think, as far as autism goes it could be that it made me smart, recently i found old IQ testing results and some of my scores were very impressive, at one point my elementary school teachers tried to get me into a gifted school because, well i was very fast at mental math faster than my father who was an engineer even in middle school people always commented on this everyone noticed i could do mental math very quickly, and i had a very good memory for AP history class where i got A's without studying as much as other students or my sister, other kids would ask "hey how do you always get an A if you are such a lazy fuck who barely studies" i was so good at AP history it made me feel weird when others asked how i did so well there was no secret study habit i was just smart.

Your "dysautonomia" is possibly caused by chronic microwave exposure. Largely via the hypothalamus your body is put into a sympathetic dominant state. When your adrenals and thyroid are finally trashed you move to the other side, into chronic bradycardia and hypotension.

Two types of animals were identified:
-The strong animal.
It alters its state and somewhat synchronizes with the field but tries to maintain its proper state, slowly exhausting. The strong animal often fails first.
-The labile animal.
It is "of a phasic character" and has "periods of CNS excitation followed by periods of depression". The highs might not be higher in amplitude than the strong animal, but there's a definite difference. The labile animal generally exhausts and fall well below basal values.

With time this is irreversible. You need to eliminate every possible cause of what's happening to you from your life immediately.

Not him but in one of my lecture halls there's like a venting system on the side so it's a bunch of huge grilles or what to call them, like plenty of stripes of pitch black into the venting system. Looking at those I summon visual snow to my attention, and they're also the source of plenty of visual illusions, like movement where there's no movement and stuff like that. I can see visual snow anywhere but it's not like I think about it, the "pixels" are so small I don't notice them unless it's against pitch black or I actively want to see them.

Looking at it now, when I settle on a place to watch for visual snow, the buzzing pixels move collectively in a soft and slow manner like that of a silky wave gliding up a beach to the apex and then continuing the movement back down towards the sea again. Actually, I might just be fooled by all the shit floating on my eye's surface getting movement when I'm rolling my eye in a new direction. When it comes to the pixels there's no specific thing to look at because they're buzzing in and out of existence pop pop pop and absolutely everywhere, so if I see movement I can't for sure attribute it to such small things or if its really just the gunk on my eye

Actually I haven't answered your question at all because obviously I don't know much for sure about my visual snow since it's just on the edge of what I can be sure of percieving but maybe I've given context

Thanks. The anxiety and stuff is less dire than it used to be, although you never really know when it decides to flare up.

I think my current problems could be largely fixed by having a social life, which is why I've refused the SSRI stuff doctors inevitably prescribe, which is why I don't bother doctors with this any more. It's a nice thought in that it would mean this is something that could be overcome, but the fact that I've been unable to make that happen makes me feel bad. I feel like my life has been shit for the last few years and that it likely will be shit in perpetuity for reasons which would have been mostly preventable.

I guess there is some justice in living in a hell of my own making.

Depression/Narcissistic personality disorder

Never was formally diagnosed, but I know for certain that this is what's going on. Some psychologists put NPD on the autistic scale as well, so a bit of that.

It kind of helps and it doesn't. Because I'm a narcissist, I feel like I have to be superior to others, and if I'm not, I gotta die trying. Generally it works out ok, however, sometimes it makes me assume that I'm apriori better than everybody else, which ruins my grades (because I'm certainly smart enough not to do anything for the whole semester and then just turn up to the exam to write it up, sure). But at the same time, if I can't prove to myself that I'm the best, I'd rather be dead. But it pushes me to try to do insane shit that nobody even tries to do at my level (hope this is not narcissism speaking in me, but my genuine experience). My motivation is either as high as a mountain or as low as Mariana Trench, I rarely find myself in the middle. I'm either the best or the worst. It's quite fun sometimes, but I don't really like living like this.

On top of that, insomnia and major sleeping problems. I haven't slept for 2 days in a row 3 times last week, going to sleep at 12 in the day and waking up at 10 in the evening on most days. I feel like I'm going to have a mental breakdown any time soon because of this.

I have congenital hydrocephalus - a neurological condition which causes CSF to pool in a patient's skull. Treatment is in the form of a surgical implant called a shunt (a silicone tube with a valve, running from the brain into the torso). The vast majority of people born hydrocephalic are severely mentally and physically impaired. However, there is evidence of the opposite effect in a small subset of patients who score higher than their unafflicted peers on verbal IQ tests. Shunt failure can also induce precocious puberty, which leads to enlarged sexual organs, increased testosterone, bone density, and height.

I'm one of the lucky ones. Missed a perfect verbal SAT score by two questions, I'm over six feet tall, and have a horsecock.

But I do have an Achilles heel. Magnets. My shunt has an adjustable valve - so if you have access to a strong enough EMF source, you could kill me fairly easily.

When I was younger I had severe OCD, and it literally destroyed my life. I pushed through it, (self imposed "exposure therapy/CBT"), and got it down to about 80% gone. It shows up in my personality though as I have no tolerance for uncertainty. I do math and it's a double edged sword. On the one hand I'm very rigorous and meticulous and need everything to be explicit/convincing/justified before I accept the proof. On the other hand I often have this nagging feeling of uncertainty even after I know I've proven something... like "is this really 100% absolutely bulletproof" and I have to affirm that it is more than a normal person I think. Being so uncertain is also often crippling since it makes things seem overwhelming or unapproachable.

Neuroanatomical studies and the associations with teratogens strongly suggest that autism's mechanism includes alteration of brain development soon after conception.[69] This anomaly appears to start a cascade of pathological events in the brain that are significantly influenced by environmental factors.[79] Just after birth, the brains of children with autism tend to grow faster than usual, followed by normal or relatively slower growth in childhood. It is not known whether early overgrowth occurs in all children with autism. It seems to be most prominent in brain areas underlying the development of higher cognitive specialization.[49]

In brief, autism is associated with:
-Altered dendritic spine formation and axonal guidance, particularly in the mid second trimester
-Changes shortly after birth which prime microglia for chronic, long term neuroinflammation.
-Gut problems, which will also cause brain damage over time.

The core of autism appears to be the first on the list, with the rest either adding on, or following from that mechanism. Refer to the genetic polymorphism causing Timothy Syndrome for more.

Most of the altered neurodevelopment of autism has to do with peripheral bodily dysfunction, it's a response to neurological insult, and it's degenerative over time.

Neuroinflammation causes cell death, stripping of dendritic spines (reduced arborization), low grade demyelination. Altered Ca2+ homeostasis, as in Timothy Syndrome, also causes elevated levels of free radicals, bad synaptogenesis, and cell death.

It's brain damage. One of my earliest "biases" was the idea of damaging something to make it work better, that's what I thought as a kid. There are many cases where you can achieve better functional characteristics in some respects by damaging a machine, but it's rarely so simple even in a case where that does happen.

We need to stop normalizing autism as "woo rainman!" (who actually had agenesis of the corpus callosum), and start taking it much more seriously. Parents that already have autistic kids do, the broader culture does not.

I have Autism but very High Functioning, My moms psychology prof was astonished when I was around 5yo and speaking and communicating when diagnosed at ~2yo.

Was never interested in learning nor school for all of Jr High qnd High school. I hated math and thought it was boring.

I am now deciding 5years after Highschool that I really fucking love Math and am Getting enrolled next fall for the program.

I Taught myself Calculus, Simple Diff eq, Matrix Algebra, Logic, and Set Theory in the span of two years and what i noticed is overall most people that are Autistic do generally have good logical thinking and reasoning skills which is an advantage. Also we can compute things better and faster with more practice in a shorter period of time.

However i can communicate decently its just more of how i prefer not to put my self in communities or major social groups. I have 2 friends and thats it. I also have a GF suprisingly as i thought that this would never happen to me in a million life times.

I also have thoughts that others can read my mind, my mother in particular, and I feel as if I have some sort of clairvoyance, which is due to me being able to accurately guess events (for example, I guessed what cards my friend had in her hand 7 times in a row, when we were playing the 'Higher or Lower' card game and the same has gone for rolls of dice many times).

Schizo isn't associated with low intelligence.

Untreated schizo can fry your brain and make you less intelligent, that much is true, but according to research more intelligent people are more likely to develop schizophrenia.

Schizo is associated with higher intelligence and higher creativity and imagination.

This correlation between high intelligence and schizo can be explained in various ways though. For example more intelligent people are more likely to use drugs, and people who take drugs are more likely to trigger schizophrenia. Or more intelligent people have more loosened and vast associations, are wired in a way in their brain that makes them more vulnerable to psychosis. There are other explanations too..

Always liked extremely spicy food till the point that I did quite a bit of damage to my stomach (H.Pylori).
I just simply can ignore pain at will.

Not long ago, I stretched a tendon (EXTREMELY), nearly severed it actually.
Managed to mostly sleep it off to the day after and still go to the ER and attempt to walk there (I stopped at some point though, nit because of any pain, but because my foot couldn't support my weight - at all).
Also, managed to get a few blunt trauma injuries where I insisted on not taking any pain meds, docs and nurses couldn't believe me at some point.
