I already knew this.

Autism research: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4661402.stm

Confirms what I had already suspected, and I think many others had as well.

And it does seem to bear out, even going back a generation. My mother’s side of the family does tend toward the analytical, and my husband’s father is an engineer.

It prompted this conversation online between myself and my computer geek hubby:

Tvini: I have long felt this to be true, that there’s got to be a link there.
Mr. Tvini: Me too.
Tvini: However, having said that.. have you seen our house? In what world is my housekeeping the mark of a “systemizer?”
Mr. Tvini: Heh, no, not there, but you have stayed until unghodly hours of the night (morning) working on a promo.
Tvini: I hadn’t looked at it in those terms before, but you’re right.
Mr. Tvini: We’re the perfect storm, baby (heh)

    I remember seeing in the news years ago that when 2 geeky people get married they have a high chance of having autistic children.

    That might have been the article. I remember it was talking specifically about silicon valley.

    That’s something we had suspected over here for a while. I think the side of my family from Poland was carrying something with them when they came over, and Adam’s father is very analytic.
