Let's Talk About The Overlap Between Autism, ADHD, and Schizophrenia

I've been wanting to make a graph like this for awhile, about the overlap between these three disorders. Tagging @auschizm because it's highly related to that blog :D

Text transcribed below the cut because it's long!

Title: Can We Talk About The Overlap Between... AUTISM, ADHD, AND SCHIZOPHRENIA?

Description: You always hear people talking about AuDHD, but schizophrenia has the same if not more overlap with these disorders, and it's not talked about!

Let's start boosting schizophrenic people's voices. There's more to the disorder than just psychosis!

Graph based on my personal experience with schizophrenia, my experiences with autistic and ADHD communities, and the words of people with AuDHD themselves.

Made by @gray-gray-gray-gray on tumblr.

Schizophrenia Only

Typical age of onset between 15 and 54 years old

Before the onset/ first psychotic break, there is a "prodrome" where you have a drop in functioning

Reoccuring episodes of psychosis (Hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, etc)

Likely had less noticeable or covert symptoms pre-onset

Often daydreaming, 'in their own world', hyper-self-reflective, 'space cadet'

Autism Only

Need for familiarty & routine

Sudden disruptions to routine are highly distressing

ADHD Only

Craves new experiences & novelty

Autism & ADHD (AuDHD)

I think comic bros would have me publicly executed for this take, but… Frank is very much obviously in-love with Matt, right?

[literally-spiderman-irl]

something soooo interesting about the way people refer to frank castle by his name instead of calling him “the punisher” in the last ep of season 1 of born again. like in the scene where frank and matt are taking down all the guys in matt’s apartment, they refer to frank as “castle” and “frank castle.” not “the punisher.” it’s like they’re ignorant or willing to ignore his true nature as the punisher and just see him as this guy they should aspire to be—a hero to cops instead of a guy who really fucking hates them. even when he’s literally slaughtering them, they’re not scared of him in the way they really should be because they think he can be on their side. it’s a weird nuance but i think it’s vital to the way these cops are characterized in the show, romanticizing frank’s actions instead of acknowledging who he actually is. and i bet this sounds real familiar especially to people living in the US.

I know losing Foggy is part of it, but I feel like Matt’s recklessness in DDBA comes, even subconsciously, from being older now than his father ever got to be.

Tony didn’t feel bad about tracking Peter’s location.

After Karen sent the distress message to Friday, he didn’t really have time to question his morals enough to care. And he’s glad he didn’t, because seeing the kid leaning casually against a wall meant he almost looked okay.

And maybe he could’ve convinced himself that he was if it wasn’t for the massive fucking pipe sticking out through his abdomen.

“It’s my own fault really,” Peter slurred, only standing because he was literally pinned to the wall. Tony cautiously rushed towards him to try and assess the situation.

Peter looked down, blinked, looked back up. “I told them if they wanted to get to New York, they’d have to go through me.”

He paused to smile. His teeth were coated in blood.

“Didn’t realise they’d take it so literally.”

And then he passed out.

I want a Batman and Spider-Man crossover but not with kid Peter Parker I want full-blown adult Peter Parker that just does not give a shit anymore. Like he has seen weirder shit, this is nothing new to him. he's just tired, pissed off, and wants to go home. he'd be like "where am I?" batman replies "gotham"

Spider-man: "and where is that?"

Batman: "new jersey"

Spider-man: "that makes sense"

It's time for my weekly rivals concept kit. This week we have our last vanguard of the first list,

The wall

The wall is a joke hero made for a Spiderman baseball comic. And yet, everyone loves this dumbass. Me included. He'd be a simple 675-700 health vanguard.

[ ] Primary Fire (right Trigger):

He'd be a melee hero. So his primary would obviously just be him smacking. Same with his basic melee. However at some point in his melee combo He'd have to slam someone with his wall face.

[ ] Secondary Fire (Left Trigger):

His form of range would be shooting a series of bricks from his wall.

[ ] Ability 1 (right bumper):

He can entomb someone inside a miniature house that can be destroyed. Effectively like a Groot wall trap that simply can't damage. It forces teammates out of battle in order to break free from the house.

[ ] Ability 2 (Left bumper):

He can camouflage against walls. Whenever he attacks he leaves the camouflaged state and do extra damage as an "ambush".

[ ] Passive ability

Demolition crew is an ability which grants a passive increase to damage on any destroyable terrain

[ ] Team up ability 1

Spiderman and Venom can now ride on the Wall's back just like Rocket can ride Groot. With the X/□ button Wall can throw them straight forward into battle.

[ ] Team up ability 2

When paired with Groot, Groot now gets a 3rd wall to place. His walls also do increased thrash damage.He gets a +15% damage reduction as the anchor.

[ ] Ultimate Ability (both sticks pressed):

The Wall enters a charge state that goes straight through any destroyable terrain. It knocks enemies into the air as well, similar to Peni's ultimate.

Next week we start the first round of duelists with one of my most unique concepts.

The Pet Avengers

Hey Daresplaining now I can’t send this from my blog for reasons I can’t be fucked go get into but anyway big Mike here just letting you know I appreciate your support you’re a real star don’t ever quit being who you are alright keep it real 💯🙏 And maybe sometime I’ll take you out for a drink and we can talk about my dumbass brother 😂😂 Mikey out

Hey Mikey, I'm gonna print this message out and frame it on my wall because you're a legend, my guy. Never stop being you. Thanks for the kind note, and I'll take you up on that drink anytime.

[literally-spiderman-irl]

He just said 5 of the worst jokes you'll ever hear all back to back

[literally-spiderman-irl]

Do you think Mike's full name is just. Michael Matthew Murdock.

I really want it to be, and that's gonna be my headcanon until it's directly confirmed or denied on-panel. It's just such a funny concept, and a great way of carrying over a key element of Mike's origin (Matt sucking at coming up with fake names) into his Real Boy life.

I also asked Chip Zdarsky about this a few years back, and I like his answer too.

Peter’s academic record was not exactly impressive.

Okay, it was a total shit show. He barely even shows up anymore, not seeing much point. Marwood high school didn’t exactly have a stellar reputation for producing high achieving students and Peter didn’t care about getting good grades anyway.

His plan was always to get a third shitty job as soon as possible so that he could pay off some of May’s medical debts.

He didn’t even really understand how the letter arrived in the first place, inviting him to an interview at Midtown School of Science and Technology. All he knew was that his engineering teacher gave him some test and he answered the questions. Mr Ackle said he answered some ‘impossible question’ from Tony Stark’s research into the arc reactor but Peter was sure he was lying until about a week ago.

The interview itself didn’t feel like it went particularly well. The only part that was good was the tests where he was surprised by how simple the content was. He must have done better than he thought though, because the acceptance letter came through a week later.

And sure, he could have said yes, but the school wanted a minimum of 95% attendance and Peter just couldn’t commit to that between his jobs and May needing him.

So he declined.

And maybe he wouldn’t have, if he’d have known. Maybe if someone had told him that Tony Stark would somehow hear about his test scores, he would’ve thought twice about making himself stand out.

Because sure, a genius in Midtown was something Tony Stark might be interested in.

But a genius who declined their full ride scholarship? A genius with shoddy attendance and an extensive behaviour record?

Peter really shouldn’t have been shocked when Stark showed up at his house.

[literally-spiderman-irl]

Tony wasn’t used to people being disappointed to see him.

“For fucks sake, I told you no!”

“Peter, who is it?” A voice called from inside the dorm room. It was a woman’s voice. Peter seemed to wince when he heard it.

“Just this crazy guy who is leaving-“ he tried to shut the door but Tony’s foot just so happened to block the door. Peter looked down, raised an unimpressed eyebrow and met Tony’s eye.

“Dude I was not joking when I said I wasn’t interested in your stupid job offer.”

“Who said I’m here about a job offer?” Tony challenged, casually looking at the kid over his glasses. His hair was ruffled and unkept, his clothes were too big and he looked like he was surviving off of energy drinks and cigarettes. Smelt like it too.

“Peter, is your crazy person gonna leave because the movie isn’t gonna watch itself and I’m gonna spoil it for myself and then you if you’re not back here in a few seconds.”

Peter rubs the space between his eyebrows. “MJ, just- give me a second.” He looks back towards Tony. “If you’re not here about the job thing then why are you here? You know this place is full of nerd people who would kill to meet you, right? Go bother one of them.”

“Well as much as I love being adored, something about the love and wonder in your eyes really draws me in,” Tony smirked. Peter stood there with the most unimpressed look on his face. Tony couldn’t help but smirk more.

“Make your point and make it fast. I swear the sister is the killer but if I find out it’s the detective I’m gonna lose my shit.”

Tony doesn’t know what it is, but he feels an inherent need to have this kid in his company. Maybe it was something about way he looked at Tony like he had personally cancelled his favourite show. Maybe it was the way he had shouted at Tony about how he can improve the arc reactor when they first met - as if that would put him off.

“£800 a day,” Tony offers.

Peter stares at him, gives him a once over as if to check if he’s being serious, and then shakes his head a little. “I do not want to work for a pretentious, cocky son of a-“

“It was the detective.”

“BITCH,” Peter jumps.

The girl smirks as she joins him in the doorway. Her eyes move.

“Holy shit, you’re Tony Stark,” she says in a monotone voice. Tony is about to ask if he’s lost his touch or something because no one is impressed by his presence when-

“If I agree to work with you will you leave me the hell alone?” Peter sighs. MJ flicks a piece of popcorn into her mouth.

Tony doesn’t comment on the fact he can’t leave Peter alone if they work together. Instead he just says “done” and leaves.

Roll on Monday.

[literally-spiderman-irl]

Tony Stark came from a wealthy family that hated each other.

Peter Parker came from a poor family that was filled with so much love.

They have nothing in common, so this internship is a ridiculous idea, really. If he really tries, maybe Tony can give him a good wage and teach Peter what it’s like to feel financially secure.

And without trying at all, Peter might teach Tony what a family is supposed to feel like.

[literally-spiderman-irl]

“Oh yeah, because we definitely have the same problems, Tony,” Peter scoffed, hoarding his things back into his backpack without much care.

“Sorry that my locker isn’t broken and I don’t have to worry about getting to class on time but-“

“Oh my god! It is so typical that you think that’s what I’m dealing with.”

“Then tell me what you’re dealing with!” Tony shouts. His voice is dripping with frustration and Peter bites back another insult. “I don’t understand what the problem is! You said everything was fine with that Flash guy, your grades are good. What is the problem?”

Peter threw in a pencil - he wasn’t even sure if it was his or not - and zipped up his bag quickly. He threw it over his shoulder. “Jesus, you’re so-“ he cut himself off, huffing.

Tony’s eyes squinted. “So what?”

“So privileged! Everything is handed to you in a silver fucking platter and you still complain,” Peter shouts, turning for a moment just to drive the point home. He sees Tony’s eyes harden.

“That silver plate was being thrown at my head, actually.”

Peter stopped, looking him dead in the eyes. Tony doesn’t talk about his parents much but Peter had gathered most of it from the little comments he made. Peter doesn’t talk about his own house much and conveniently, Tony doesn’t pry. Foster care is usually a tricky subject so he doesn’t blame him, sometimes he just wishes he wasn’t so dumb.

He didn’t think about it before saying it. “At least the plates being thrown at you were silver.”

He lets the admission hang there for a second before he turns on his heels and walks out. He thinks he hears Tony move before the door closes fully but he doesn’t turn around and check.
