Another article about autism, this one offering the very plausible but perhaps not very exciting "assortative mating" theory: partly-autistic John meets partly-autistic Mary and they have fully-autistic Junior.
I've written about autism several times before. Why am I so interested? Well, I see a little bit of it in myself. I scored a 32 on this quiz, which is allegedly the borderline score.
If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?

It seems like the autism quiz would have a bias to identify mathematicians as borderline autistic, because it has several questions about being interested in numbers.
