[quote=Anonymous]I believe that this is due to assortative mating. In the past there were always useful roles for these mild "human calculator" types. Geographically it would be rare for them to meet and marry each other. With women in college and mobility these types are finding each other and having children. When these genes are concentrated and expressed strongly it manifests as autism. Even mild autism is looked down on now because we have computers to do numerical and analytic work, so career success is much more dependent on social skills and charisma. You could be an unlikable nerd in the past and still make great money.[/quote]
