What is the difference between Schizoid Personality Disorder & Autism Spectrum Disorder?

A

1.Cold, unresponsive, or neglectful parents increase the risk of schizoid personality. Autism begins in utero and is never caused by bad parenting
2. Schizoid people are aloof and do not care much about others. Autistic people often care deeply, but show it differently, and may withdraw because it is overwhelming
3. Some autistic people want close relationships, but do not know how to obtain them.
4. People with schizoid PD have little or no desire to find love and marry. Many autistic people enjoy romantic relationships and may get married.
While autistic people may have unique body language, they will almost always react. People with schizoid personality disorder will appear indifferent.
5. Most autistic people have or want close relationships with a few loved ones, such as family or friends. People with schizoid PD will remain indifferent.
An autistic person may not pick up on subtle social cues like body language. A person who has schizoid personality disorder might over-interpret these things, often in a suspicious way
6.Social differences in schizoid PD are caused mainly by a lack of interest, while in autism, they are caused by confusion and lack of skills.
7. Autistic children develop at their own pace, meeting milestones more slowly, more quickly, or out of order. Unless another disability is present, people with schizoid traits will follow the expected timeline
8.Someone with schizoid PD shows little interest in hobbies and other activities, having no or very few activities they enjoy. Autistic people typically have a few “special interests,” which are narrow, intense, and extremely passionate
9. Autism becomes visible in childhood, while schizoid PD usually begins around early adulthood.
