I am hoping to interact with this page and learn a little bit about how different people experience schizophrenia and day to day life.

I have a background in the mental health field and have learned a lot about different mental diagnoses in the last 7 years, but I currently work with autism in adults. My father also has schizophrenia and I found out in the last 2 years when he was no longer able to deal with it in the community.

So with all that, I wanted to come here to see how it can be for people on all sides of the spectrum.

I’ve worked with individual who’ve been diagnosed with autism along with schizophrenia.

First question, is it common to have auditory hallucinations of voices of people you know or someone famous?

I am tasked with helping individuals advocate for themselves, but I want to help them understand.the best I can.
I don’t want them to conflate their active imagination with hallucinations. (That’s just me trying to be overly sensitive to what they experience)
