[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 447563, member: 1991"] It's tricky to ask questions on this. In her book "Life Behind Glass", Australian social worker Wendy Lawson describes how she was put in a locked psychiatric ward for a considerable number of years when, at the age of about 19, a psychiatrist asked her, "Do you hear voices?" and she replied, "Of course I do! Doesn't everyone?" It turned out that she was Asperger's and also very literal-minded. Of course you HEAR voices; you don't SEE them or touch them. On the basis of that the psychiatrist had described her as having a psychotic break and suffering from schizophrenia. A serious mis-diagnosis in this case, all because the shrink was thinking one way and the patient in an entirely different way. Marg [/QUOTE]
