Yeah, SzPD has a reputation for being super rare, but my theory is that it’s not as rare as people think.
I think SzPD’s reputation for being rare among those seeking therapy is well deserved, but I think it’s probably more prevalent in the general population than is estimated.
Definitely not trying to influence your self-diagnoses or anything, but yeah.
(Also, I suppose I should mention that SzPD and autism present very similarly and if SzPD seems to fit you, it might be worth checking whether autism fits you better or worse. That said, I do think I’m much better described by SzPD than autism and SzPD is probably much more often misdiagnosed as autism than the other way around.)
