Data or Spock?

Schizoid personality disorder is similar to schizophrenia in terms of the symptoms, but one key difference is that those with SPD don't experience psychosis, whereas schizophrenic patients do experience that.
I just went and read the plot summary of that episode. Scientist uploads his memories and personality into Data before he dies. I wonder if the writers got Schizoid and Multiple-Personality / Dissociative Identity Disorder mixed up.
Schizoid Personality Disorder (SPD) vs. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD):
Similarities:
- Social challenges present in both disorders.
- Preference for solitude or limited social interactions.
Differences:
- SPD is a personality disorder marked by emotional detachment.
- ASD is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting communication, behavior, and social interactions.
- Repetitive behaviors are more characteristic of ASD.
- ASD typically diagnosed in early childhood; SPD in adulthood.
You would really need to consult professionals for an accurate diagnosis and tailored interventions.
