I've asked my other kids, and we have no recollection of John doing any such things.

Yeah, his dad did not have any access to the internet. He did not really know how to work the internet. He also, I've talked with all my other kids, and none of us have any thoughts that John would have done such a thing. We believe that's what's called a delusion, and it's a fixed delusion. And so that's where he thought we owed him money. So at that time, I did, in Arizona, we have petitions.

And so I petitioned him for involuntary treatment. And they let him out within a day and said that it was because he was on drugs.

That is true. That is true.

he was on drugs, which again complicates things for a lot of people who have schizophrenia because when their symptoms get really bad, they tend to go to drugs in order to mask those symptoms, in order to help themselves. Trying to fade out what comes first, the psychosis or the drug use, often comes with years of having to fade that out.

Even myself, up until when Josh was 17, so up until just a year before that, believed that Josh's issues were related to substance abuse and not schizophrenia. So at 17, I was around him enough that I saw the mental illness coming first. but I did not know it was schizophrenia.

I thought maybe it was like a bipolar disorder where they have highs and lows, or I thought maybe he had so much anxiety it was making him paranoid. So even me with my experience had a hard time sorting this out at first.

Yes. And that's true for everybody. It takes up to three to five years to get a clear diagnosis of schizophrenia. They rule out everything else first. And that's something that Arizona Mad Moms and several other psychosis organizations really want to see changed. I don't know if you remember, so I know... This group that listens is well aware of autism, and I have two children with autism.
