Book notes, When The Sun Bursts
Mar. 14th, 2022 01:58 pmI was flipping through Christopher Bollas's "When the Sun Bursts: The Enigma of Schizophrenia," recently.
I read this book, in psychosis, and I liked it more than the other schizophrenia books, which I had read.
In chapter 12, Assumed Knowledge, the Japanese-American boy, Ido, whom we are first introduced to, seems to me, to have been misdiagnosed with schizophrenia, when he clearly has autism. I am not sure how common this is, but every time that it happens, it skews psychiatry's and the public's understanding of schizophrenia, because they are not observing schizophrenia, then, but autism.
(The thought inserter doesn't care about SZ or schizophrenics, but only about autism. I hate them. They are so selfish.)
