I'm not sure about this idea. It could be true... but I don't think it should be used as a reason to change patterns in our society. If two people who are systemizers want to marry, I don't think anything should be done to prevent that.
But I've been reading a few other ideas about this, suggesting that we only find so many people on the autistic spectrum these days because we now have a term for something that was once dismissed as an eccentricity rather than diagnosed. In other words, I think our definition of healthy, normal behavior has become more narrow, thus we see more "deviants."
Does that make sense?
