Someone told me schizophrenia is linked to autism. is this true?

A recent study from : Ireland published in " Molecular Psychiatry" identified mutations in genes that control epigenetic regulation, the process by which experience & environment alter the function ( but not structure or sequence) of genes, that increase susceptibility to both schizophrenia & autism by the same mechanism. This appears to be one of many genetic "set-ups", or the basis for some cases of Autism.
