The social dysfunction is pretty clear with schizotypal personality disorder. They're very anxious and uncomfortable around others and prefer to be alone. I think occupationally, again, they could do okay if they could be guaranteed some social isolation. The patient I had talked about earlier, as an example of schizotypal personality disorder worked for a grounds crew for a local school district. And basically his supervisor figured out very quickly that they'd come to a school, and maybe the rest of them would do some group project together where they had to work collaboratively; but he'd send my patient off on a solo job to do by himself. Which worked beautifully, and he was considered a good employee.
