"I have come a long ways. Just a year ago I would say I am sorry because I have autism. I blamed everything on autism for so many years. But it was not the autism that was causing all of my problems and it was unfair of me to sit around and blame autism for problems that were not caused by autism. Most of my problems are likely caused by having schizophrenia. Sometimes I think I do something but I really do not do it. Like I feel like I have paid people back what I owe them sometimes but I know it is not true because when I check my Paypal I still have not paid them back. My delusions and hallucinations during psychosis cause me to do a lot of bad things that are damaging to my reputation. I need to find a better way of coping during psychosis so that I do not destroy my entire life. One day I hope to be able to cope with schizophrenia a little better than what I am doing now but I am still learning all about it and trying to come up with ways cope with it. I think coming up with coping strategies for schizophrenia is much harder than coming up with coping strategies for autism."
