Yeah, it's very weird how all that shit works. Mostly replying to user's post for context, here.
Schizophrenics are often seeing patterns in where things don't exist, hence the delusions and psychosis. But apparently they can see things for what they are where they do exist better than normal people as well. Hopefully that's not jet fuel for any kind of psychotic break.
I remember when I was deep into research about this stuff, basically an autistic person's brain has a preference for local neuronal activity to figure something out, and schizophrenia/psychosis is like a skew toward too much global connection. It's like too much "noise" going on because D2 receptors are firing too hard.
Interesting thing about it, I think both autism and schizophrenia are gateways to perception that most normal people couldn't realize. The only problem is that these conditions are difficult to shut off, while also probably being the only way some people can really see what's going on.
