Is there a difference between the drawing styles of children, and the drawing styles of adults who can't draw?

I keep having this argument with adults who draw like children.

Yeah. Children can draw, but they haven't been told they can't draw, and adults can't draw even though they've been told many times, but keep trying.

When very young children draw they generally think it's an accurate image, they don't process any kinds of comparison to reality, adults are more easily able to notice when something is incorrect. So while an inexperienced adult might draw a totally disproportionate image, you're not going to find one that draws arms coming out of hips or anything of that degree when attempting realism. It's more to do with brain function in young children, certain parts don't mature until later stages of development.

As far as I know, adults usually have a better
understanding of perspective. But I never asked an
adult to draw something for me...

Matter of practice. An adult can still achieve respectable level of art skill, even though a child will get there sooner.
As for drawing styles hmm. I don't remember 7 year olds drawings of detailed hardcore lesbian sex scenes so I'd say yes, they do differ.

no, style and subject are different things.

I've seen a hardcore lesbian sex scene drawn by a 20-year-old man with the drawing style of a 7-year-old.

I admit, the hardcore lesbian sex scene example may be bit off the mark but
I'll need to clarify this: Do you mead a style as an individual type of
hand movements resulting in unique images OR the level of proficiency?.
