Link between autism and schizophrenia?

is there one? or they are completely different illnesses? my mom asked my ex doc if i am autistic,she looked at her strangely like saying no… but i feel like kinda autistic… since kid i dont talk a lot etc… sorry if i bless those with autism. i dont know a lot about it in fact… i know that in schizophrenia you have some autistic traits but its not like you have really an autism. strange illness, i am not sure that i understand it…
someone who was feeling quite autistic also?

It is linked, but not in the way that people first thought… I took Some genetic and behavioural testing, which gave me results saying I had an atypical type of autism because of the psychosis… In other words all people who have psychosis land autism have is atypical type of autism …

If you’re feeling a bit autistic, go to docs her, they might be able to give you a diagnosis somehow… It’s just not linked in the way that they thought at first they used to call schizophrenia a type of autism… It is not that

there are a lot of overlapping symptoms with autism and schizophrenia, and sz often gets misdiagnosed as autism and vice versa.
