If there is a positive correlation between higher socioeconomic status (especially in the last 10-20 years) and a higher autism diagnosis rate, I have a theory to explain it. My pet theory is that as the rise of the Internet and Web has placed higher economic demand for people with certain kinds of mental skills and thought processes (programmers, computer hardware designers, etc.), and that class of people has generally risen in wealth, and also in marriage suitability (more money, success, greater attraction to women, etc.) that then causes those kinds of people to be more likely to have kids, and thus you see a spike in kids who inherited those mental traits from their parents -- I'm guessing mostly from the father, assuming my theory is right. It could be a combination of that effect plus the rise in widespread Internet usage, and the massive increase in "geek out" behavior that has caused in the general population (surfing the web, clicking on every little link, web forums, text messaging, etc. all the kinds of things that a hyper-focused nerdy or Asperger's like person would be more likely to engage in).
