Specifically:
1. Ex with evil autism /hj aka, resting bitch face bc he doesn't know how to do expressions properly, no empathy/ability to put oneself in another person's shoes, has rlyyy frequent meltdowns which basically look like anger outbursts, doesn't understand hierarchy or social norms (bc he only knows evil >:D)
And thus Ex can come of as rly mean and disrespectful
2. Zed with crazy scientist autism /hj aka, masks a LOT so he started observing ppls behaviors from a rlyyy young age + has autism made him feel alienated from other ppl and a bit nonhuman/different + really intense spin in psychology = he sees all human beings as his test subjects :3333 (season 8 zed my beloved <2222)
Zed's really high masking, but despite his efforts he doesn't understand social norms fully, so he still shows the wrong reactions to things sometimes. For example, he rants a lot about his spins n doesn't realize when ppl get bored of it, he misunderstands sarcadm, he has overly exaggerated expressions, etc.
And thus Zed like a rly excited and passionate, but also incredibly weird and lowkey menacing/off putting scientist.
The big differences between them is that Zed rly loves socializing (even tho he rly struggles with it) and ex hates it. Zed is constantly ranting about his spins (mainly psychology or engineering) meanwhile ex just stares at people menacingly bc he doesn't wanna talk to them.
They also have p diff coping mechanisms:
Zed is, as mentioned, high masking and uses his spins to cope. (cause psychology lets him understand ppl better and thus mask better)
Meanwhile Ex has been alienated and misunderstood his whole life and never rly managed to mask properly. Instead he internalized the abelism he faced and leaned into the whole 'evil' persona
