(A) Illustration of the psychosis symptom spectrum, with psychotic-like experiences belonging on the lower end of the dimension. (B) Depiction of the heterogeneity of self-reported psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) in childhood and early adolescence. Some PLEs may be psychosis-specific, some may be indicative of transdiagnostic psychopathology, and some are normative experiences that may never be clinically relevant (e.g., misunderstanding questions, culturally normative experiences, transient developmentally normative experiences). Abbreviations: APS=attenuated psychotic symptoms; BIPS=Brief Intermittent Psychotic symptoms; FEP=first episode psychosis; HR=high risk.
