How closely related are schizophrenia and Aspergers Syndrome?

How closely related are schizophrenia and Aspergers Syndrome?
I have Asperger's, but I don't own schizophrenia. I disagree with the second poster that Asperger's is an "illness".
Both are psychiatric conditions. Schizophrenia is contained by the psychotic spectrum (typically presents in rash adulthood) while Asperger's is a pervasive developmental disorder (typically presents in childhood).
They are not related at adjectives. Yes, both are pyschiatric conditions, but have nought in adjectives.
Schizophrenia is a condition that is genetic, where on earth the person suffers delusion, paranoia, and hallucinations. Their thought process become unclear. Most schizophrenics can be treated next to medications call anti-pyschotics. So may even lead productive lives.
Aspergers Syndrome is an Autistic Spectrum Disorder. Scientists believe that they are genetic but also own an environmental component. Children/adults with Aspergers do not enjoy hallucinations, delusion, or paranoia. They mostly have inhibitions surrounded by socialization and emotion. There is NO medication that assist Aspergers Syndrome.
So, please do not compare the two. They are completely different illnesses.
