I can't give a wonderful, elequent answer in the way you ahve been getting...
But, I've done a fair amount of reading and stuff on various forms of Autism, as my 7 year old nephew is quite severly autistic.
Once learning the basics, I can see autistic traits in so many members of my family, and also in friends... Someone else once said that the same as I ahve found - That most programmers have autistic tendencies.. and boy, I know alot of programmers, and they display alot of the characteristics.
No help... but mild forms are more commmon than we think - I can even see bits in me at times!!
