Not sure how I feel about this implication that schizophrenia and autism are opposite issues on the same axis; there's existing evidence that schizotypy and autism are actually considered quite similar. The schizotypal personality disorder mentioned must actually be diagnosed via a ruling out of autism, as they both have similar symptoms and score similarly in socio-cognitive testing (eg. facial emotion recognition).
EDIT: Also, given that schizotypal personality disorder scores similarly to autism in recognizing human facial expressions, I'm not entirely sure where the author in the link is getting the depiction of a schizotypal person being particularly socially insightful through an examination of facial feature (the provided example being how to extrapolate from an eye twitch).
