Before AS was recognised as a condition in its own right, many people on the autistic spectrum were misdiagnosed with childhood schizophrenia in youth. Some of the outward behaviours can display similarly. But there is no proven link between psychotic illness and AS. While they may be comorbid, they're unrelated.
Does childhood schizophrenia even exist anymore as a diagnosis? I thought it was an old, ignorant term for autism.
