Also anecdotal. I have a daughter with Aspergers (just diagnosed, so I'm new to this). My wife and I are both Dutch/Friesian, but I am reasonably certain we are not related. I am a programmer (with dyslexia), my wife is an artist. Both our fathers are technical with degrees/jobs in electronics. Her father has numerous patents in aerospace. My wife's mother has manic depression. Most of my cousins are dyslexic, one is autistic, a few have Aspergers children as well. I think I've created the perfect storm to have a child in the autism spectrum.
