Assessing Unrepresented Self States-Differentiating Between the Autism Spectrum and Schizotypal/Sch

Abstract

Psychological assessment referrals for Autism Spectrum Disorder have markedly increased recently. Some of these clients present with social communication difficulties while also presenting with feelings of deadness, an un-or underrepresented sense of self, and fragmented experiences of self and other, which raise questions regarding the differential diagnosis between autism and schizoid/schizotypal levels of personality functioning. This presentation will briefly review the literature pertaining to these levels of functioning and then will focus on a case, with ample opportunity for discussion.
