Onset of symptoms typically occurs in young adulthood,[1] with around 0.4–0.6%[2][3] of the population affected.
What age does it normally start?
Normally in peoples' late teens or early twenties. Although it has been known to start at other ages (older and younger!), this is more unlikely.
Onset by Age -- Three-quarters of persons with schizophrenia develop the disease between 16 and 25 years of age. -- Onset is uncommon after age 30, and rare after age 40.
Norma, someone has been telling you porkies, it can develop late in women, some believe because of estrogen. Aaron’s symptoms are fairly typical of schizophrenia; I don’t indent to argue this point any more. Tying to argue that Paranoid Schizophrenia is a different illness is ridiculous.
Firstly without detailed assessment of the individual it’s impossible for anyone to reach that conclusion. Secondly it’s now recognized that Schizophrenia probably covers four or five ‘syndromes’. So given what little is ‘KNOWN’ we can only state Aaron had schizophrenia we can’t be more specific. However this statement:
“He declares that he is guided ad his movements altogether controlled by an instinct that informs his mind, he says that he knows the movements of all man kind, he refuses food from others because he is told to do so, he refuses food from others because he is told to do so, and he eats from the gutter for the same reason. Jacob Cohen, 51 Carter lane, St Paul’s EC1 says he goes about the streets and picks up bits of bread out of the gutter and eats them, he drinks water from a tap and he refuses food from the hands of others. He took a knife and threatened the life of his sister. He is very dirty and will not be washed. He has not attempted any kind of work for years. Signed HK Houchin”,
Would seem to be someone describing someone suffering what you are calling Paranoid Schizophrenia.
As to your claims about violence you are making the same basic mistake that Martin Fido made.
Schizophrenia is unlikely to be the only cause-factor if someone suffering the illness becomes violent. Schizophrenics go through phases called ‘psychotic’ episodes. Once removed from these other factors-environments schizophrenics are unlikely to be dangerous. Eventually all schizophrenic’s reach a stage called burn out where we would expect them to be ‘cut off from reality’ and harmless anyway. It is this stage that typically occurs in the thirties and is usually completely unviolent and harmless stage.
We don’t know specifics about Aaron’s illness. It’s probable he suffered a form of schizophrenia. Given what is KNOWN it’s a POSSIBILITY that he could have committed the murders.
Given what little is known about Druitt it’s a POSSIBILITY that he also could have committed the murders.
All I have stated is that Aaron is a better match for what is KNOWN about post mortem mutilators or Lust killers.
That’s it.

PS. Perhaps you could supply us all with one link that suggests the average age for schizophrenia, in men, is thirty years of age? I suggest that you wont be able to unless from Mr Deloxley’s website.
