Answer 1

A. someone also diagnosed with autism that has disorganized speech and flat affect

Step-by-step explanation:

A requirement for a schizophrenia diagnosis is the absence of other issues that could cause the same symptoms. For example, If someone had a major head injury that cause disorganized speech, they couldnt be diagnosed with schizophrenia unless they found a way to confirm it was not the cause because it gives another more likely reason for the issues.
