Even if you control for the growth of the psychology and psychiatry sciences and the new methods of detecting autism, the data shows that autism is om the rise. Is it plausible that autism is mankind's adaption to the advancement of technology, especially in computer science and robotics? Are we weeding those that are skilled in personal social interaction in favor of those that communicate with computers more comfortably?
Is it possible that autism is the next step in the evolution of mankind?

we won't know about the "true" adaptation until a few thousand years, such is evolution
the traits that make someone fit for their environment change as the environment changes, as such the best trait to have is a quick adaptability to any environment

Start are the first retarded thing that I say and work yourself to the end. It's not a very long post.

Nah, it's just that when selection pressures are eased, more errors accrue. Humanity is getting shittier, overall. It's a temporary phase though, since we'll taking a more direct hand in our genetics before long.

What is commonly called autism is simply the brain's equivalent of being given a larger ratio of neuro-glial cells. Reports of it are on the rise because as a species we are being exposed to more stimulus, providing the brain with more 'food'.
With an education system that constantly limits humanity (you have to do this for x years because it's always been done that way!) but the rise of intellectual stimulation (even gaming counts), the only conclusion is 'autism'.
However the human brain is not as fragile/incapable of healing as most think.
