schizophrenia and autism are both ways in which this capacity breaks down at critical thresholds and a kind of rote mathematics takes its place, and from the outside this seems "crazy". you could say there are inner (ideas) and outer (concrete) images and holistic perception or lackthereof is something all people are relatively good or bad at. ironically this inability to parse that exact difference is a version of schizophrenia/autism, which is a failure to view the "image" in all its detail and wholeness simultaneously. you have to presuppose autism or schizophrenia-you don't derive it from the time score. both are a kind of rational imposition on an irrational image the brain needs to process information holistically, and just because autistics are good at wheres waldo because it plays to their strengths and schizophrenics are relatively worse at it, doesn't mean an otherwise healthy person can be gauged as if they had those disorders and wheres waldo tells them where they stand. if autism is inability to view things as a whole in space schizophrenia is likely to be the same thing but in time. it would be the dream of dumb people everywhere to be able to evelate wheres waldo as the intellectual bar by which everything is judged. its actually kind of misleading for you to suggest that, because people often use "schizophrenia" to dismiss anything they don't understand, and if they can give people a "where's waldo" test to confirm that person is "wrong" (which is exactly how stupid people inclined to reason: "you can't do "basic" task x, therefore how could you possibly be correct about y"). in this way its not like people are on a spectrum between autism and schizo and the wheres waldo speed test somehow places them on that spectrum. central coherence seems to be on the opposite end of both schizophrenia and autism by that theory. Just joking but there is a weird finding that autism and schizophrenics might share similar behavior but things like this might tease it apart for example high vs low central coherence.on the other hand schizophrenia is often linked to low central coherence a kind of piecemealing not unlike autism and its been suggested they are different versions of the same thing with a common cause.
