There are 2-3 options I could see as being possible.

One is less likely, that either you have it or don't and all cases are as extreme as any other.

Second is some people have it or don't, and the people who have it can have varying symptom levels.

Third is that it's a spectrum everyone is on. Technically most people "have it", but have to to such a minor degree that it is classified as not having it. But restructuring how we classify it would reveal a continuum that applies to most of the population.

How binary vs spectral do you think schizophrenia is?

What would a sub-classified schizophrenic person be like?

I have Schizoaffective Disorder, which is like having schizophrenia and bipolar disorder at the same time. Sarah Connor was diagnosed with it when she was put in a mental hospital while she was blowing up AI Data Centers to stop killer robots from the future.

Sounds like a useful disease.

Sara Connor wasn't mentally ill; she was right that Cyberdyne and Skynet were creating Terminators, killer robots.

Having dealt with a few in my life, I think it's both binary and spectral. I.e., you either have it or you don't, but if you do have it, you can have it from slightly to so intensely that you're not really connected to reality.

I think autism is related to Schizophrenia as they both affect the same part of the brain and are both treated with the same medicine.

I agree I think normally the blood brain barrier keeps bad stuff out of the brain, but if that gets broken bad stuff can get in there, and the level of severity depends on what the stuff is, and time.
