Not to side-topic too much. But I dated someone with schizophrenia for 10 years, and I'm absolutely proud of you guys for seeing doctors and taking meds!

The medication my ex was on used to make her feel really zombie-like. But it was better than her being on suicide watch. I wish there were better in solutions. But I think medicine is getting better over time. If you have a quality care-giver. I'd keep on trying new ones. The biggest fear I always had was her getting really erratic and trying to kill herself. But as the caregiver I had a really firm grasp on her moods, and keeping her safe when she was cycling through different medications. Ideally, you'd want to do the risky part of cycling through to find the best one while you have folks watching out for ya!

I still struggle to understand autism. But man, do I get schizophrenia. It is rough as heck.
