schizo: poor motion coordination - muscle groups seem to be used separately, rather than in unison. may try to compensate by learning physical skills as practiced routines where it wouldn't be normally expected
autism: rigid, stiff body language. may skip over developmental stages, e.g. go straight to cutting round shapes with scissors.
schizo: "dreamy" thinking, imagination with often bizarre or disturbing topics
autism: rigid, mechanistic thinking with "techno" fantasies. May be more interested in e.g. figuring out how the flywheel in their toy works than actually playing with it.
schizo: dreamy, vague, "abstract" talk. may repeat phrases with little understanding or idiosyncratic meaning.
autism: excessively precise, literal, pedantic "little professor speech". possible hyperlexia.
schizo: limited visual IQ, may have trouble understanding the 3d nature of objects
autism: high visuospatial intelligence; may explore early and in unexpected distances.
