One of the recognizable and very unpleasant physical expressions of autism is that the autistic person has repetitive movements, even repeating a word or sentence, these movements and convulsions are one of the signs needed to define autism behavior, on top of the repetitive movements there are, sometimes catatonic behavior which is misinterpret by many who are not aware of autistic behavior. Of course there are obvious characteristics of mental illness that cannot be confused with giftedness, in my opinion as a Mental Health Peer Advocate, that encompass apathy, changes in movement, visual and auditory hallucinations, major delusions, catatonic behavior, incoherence, violence, and self abuse. An individual diagnosed with a Brief Psychotic Disorder (DSM-IV, 1994), a severe mental disorder identified by either having delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, or grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior lasting between 1 day and 1 month, will have a full return to his/her premorbid level of functioning. |
