No, not necessarily. They are two very different conditions. Of course, some people with Asperger's (which is a high-functioning version of autism) can be bipolar, but most of the research I have seen about autism, and about Asperger's, does not link either condition with Bipolar disorder. There has been some research that shows a correlation between certain people who have autism and some who have OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder); but there again, there is no definite link between the two, and someone who has the one may not necessarily have the other.

Is bipolar disorder found on the x-linked chromosome or y-linked?

bipolar disorder is found on the x-linked chromosome. Since female has 2 pairs of X chromosome. The effect of bad gene is compensated by other pair. Hence it carries to generations without being noticed. Also it is being liked to reproductive cycle of females. Where as male has one X and One Y chromosome. Hence a faulty X has no way to compensate. So if a male has bipolar disorder it is most likely to be of bipolar disorder of type 1 (most severe). Thought data shows males have less tendency of having bipolar disorder in percentage terms.
