Apparently, diagnoses of autism has become much more valuable for parents. (at least in the Netherlands). If you don't have a the label autism, you'll have to pay for everything yourself, but with a diagnosis the (local) government will help you out with certain things. (like schooling) Something somewhat related, the diagnosis a child gets is highly dependent on the educational level of the mother. Higher educated mothers are more likely to have a child with Aspergers then "regular" autism. The cause is probably not genetic but more likely that a "smarter" mother will try to get a better (Aspergers) diagnosis then a mother with less intellect.
