| === Autism===
| |
| Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) refers to a loosely defined amount of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by challenges with social interaction and communication.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism_spectrum</ref> Daniel Larson is '''thought''' to be autistic, which is can be a driving force behind his naïveté, lack of social skills, and [[Meltdowns|frequent meltdowns]].
| |
|
| |
| Autistic people also can be known to be specific and strict about planning their days, and if there’s a sudden change of plans it may lead to a meltdown or shutdown (opposite of a meltdown).
| |
|
| |
| One characteristic that autistic people may have that is often overlooked is hyposensitivity, opposite to being hypersensitive, which Daniel may be hyposensitive, considering the fact that he has never shown any problem with sensory issues (although someone can be both, say for example; someone is hypersensitive when it comes to smell but hyposensitive to touch). Considering [[Daniel Larson's Hygiene|Daniel’s hygiene]] which would’ve most likely bothered anybody with sensory issues.

| ===ADHD===
| |
| ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that are either impairing or age-inappropriate.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_deficit_hyperactivity_disorder</ref> ADHD also tends to cause impairments in executive functioning and reading social cues.<ref>https://www.foothillsacademy.org/community/articles/adhd-social-skills</ref> Daniel Larson has ADHD, which is a large factor in his lack of [[Daniel's Money|financial skills]] and [[Homeless Arc|homelessness]], his impulsivity, and lack of foresight resulting in him [[Daniel Larson's Gambling|gambling]], and mismanaging his money by buying things he doesn’t need like $40 nachos or [[Headset Era|headphones]].

| === Bipolar disorder===
| |
| Bipolar disorder is a mental disorder characterized by rapid and extreme mood swings, characterized by periods of depression, abnormal elation, and sometimes psychosis.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder</ref>
| |
|
| |
| Daniel is most likely diagnosed with Bipolar I, a more severe subtype of the disorder which presents with full-blown mania (in contrast to the milder hypomania in II) and often psychosis, a mental state which Daniel exhibits many classic symptoms of.
| |
|
| |
| Another major driving force behind Daniel's [[meltdowns]] is his bipolarism<sup>[Citation Needed]</sup>.
| |
|
| |
| ===Schizophrenia/Schizoaffective===
| |
| Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by episodes of psychosis, hallucinations, disorganized thinking, and delusions.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenia</ref> While a diagnosis of schizophrenia is unconfirmed, him taking Latuda (a schizophrenia medication<ref name=":0">https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-155134/latuda-oral/details</ref>) and often showing delusions (i.e. [[Presidential Campaign]], [[Goldberg Shacklestein]]) and possible episodes of psychosis<sup>[Examples?]</sup> are signs that Daniel could have schizophrenia.
| |
|
| |
| It’s more likely that he has schizoaffective disorder, as according to the diagnostic criteria, there needs to be a definite period of at least two weeks in which psychotic symptoms and a mood episode have been shown in order to diagnose schizoaffective disorder, which Daniel definitely has shown<sup>[Citation Needed]</sup>.
