> not said to be either autistic or schizophrenic (you can't be both at the same time
I've never heard this before and a quick search can't find any evidence of it.
The "over-connected" suggestion did pull up studies like this[1], but that's one effect of one set of genes sometimes associated with autism, and, of course, it was in mice.
I'd definitely like to learn more, but at first impression, a spectrum with autism and schizophrenia at opposite ends seems way too simple a model for human brains.
