I was chatting at another support site and a teenager (16 years old) there starts talking about how he/she has had schizophrenia for 4 years.
Then she (I'll just use she from now on) says that she is having a schizophrenic "episode" right then and there.
She goes on to say she is in college early because she is highly intelligent. She gives examples of getting 98% in physics and calculus etc.
And...all this time she is spelling "insomnia" "insomiac" and using they're and there for the word "their".
Ugh. Simple grammatical errors and spelling mistakes.
I just have my doubts about this person.
I found it difficult to be supportive and hold my tongue.
I suppose it's possible someone can be a genius and not know how to spell simple words and basic grammar?
