fun little-known fact, autism and ADHD are both documented to co-occur pretty frequently with hallucinations. this makes three (3) "different" "diagnoses" which, pragmatically speaking, are characterized primarily by
1) perceptible oddity
2) executive dysfunction
3) divergent sensory processing
4) (optionally) psychosis

what is the third (3rd) diagnosis not so far mentioned? schizophrenia. schizophrenics are the ones we subject most directly to madness stigma and are widely, not-very-consensually treated with anti-psychotics that are very hard to tolerate, and don't solve the problems that actually make it hard to live with schizophrenia.

what are those problems? social discrimination and functional deficits related to executive dysfunction — the classic "I know the lightbulb is out and I have a lightbulb and a stepstool, but I haven't replaced the lightbulb and it's been weeks" kind of problem, writ large.

these are, in fact, support needs common to autistics and ADHD people.

"Depends on whether the author meant 'Never had sex' or 'Never had sex with a man'."
"Did a man write the spell?"
"Hah! Good question."
