Before we start a conversation on this difficult topic, let's define some terms.
Autism - is a disorder arising from a breach of brain development (ie, pathology) and characterized pronounced and comprehensive deficit of social interaction and communication and restricted interests and repetitive actions. Similar conditions in which marked milder signs and symptoms, referred to as autism spectrum disorders. Provlyaetsya under the age of three years. Accurate diagnosis can be made no earlier than when the child reaches six years of age.
signs of autism
- constant loneliness, violation of emotional connection, even with the closest relatives;
- special speech (it is similar to the mechanical) and mental deficiency;
- the dominance of negative emotions, anxiety, fear of others;
- autistics can not read non-verbal cues such as facial expression of another person;
- They do not realize that other people may be thinking and feeling;
- focusing on narrow (preferably recurring) interests, such as re-reading train schedules subway;
- underdeveloped motor skills;

introversion (Eng. introversion; from the Latin. intro - inwardly + versae, versie - rotation; lit.: circulation inside) - a complex property (complex traits) of personality (psycho man) standard described as the tendency to avoid social contacts (uncommunicativeness, unsociable), desire for solitude, not the orientation of the external and the internal world (feelings, thoughts, images).
It has been proved that introversion is transmitted genetically. The extreme degree of introversion characteristic of autism, but this is not a pathology.
Thus, the main difference between introversion of autism - the presence of pathology. Introvert can be quite freely in society: study, work, to communicate with people. Person with autism is extremely difficult to communicate with others, it is completely detached from the world.
Autism range of interests is very narrow, such people have pronounced love of uniformity, they live according to the standards defined templates which must be regularly repeated.
In an introvert can be a wide range of interests, rather broad outlook on life. These people are not afraid to leave the comfort zone, but on the condition that at any moment will be able to return to "their privacy".
Autistic great difficulty understanding people, their emotions and aspirations. They almost never have any friends. And with introversion person can very well understand people, to have friends.
