Can people with Aspergers be paranoid?

Best Answers

Yes. If you cannot read other people very well, you have no way to know what they are thinking - you are in the dark. People with Asperger's also have a tendency to catastrophise - to see minor bad situations as disasters. read more

Yes, it's paranoid, but as long as it doesn't affect my normal functioning I'm okay with it. Edit: Come to think of it, maybe mirrors activate the "somebody is watching me"-feeling most people have in me, due to some dissociated feeling of self. read more
