I heard when i was a baby i got really sick and had convulsions or seizures, so did my twin sister, is that why ive had a hard time learning and i think i could have aspergers, my sister has schizophrenia and i wondered if that was why she had it?

Maybe/not: Many infants have febrile seizures which is a benign condition they grow out of with no known after effects. These sometimes run in families. /There are some seizure conditions that may have long term issues, especially if they required long term meds. The posted info does not give enough to sort this out.
