Yeah, I know a few people and am related to others with Asperger's. Many are obsessed with computers. (Haddon's book is good. The classic description is somewhere in something by Bill Bryson where he writes about his encounter with an socially-awkward train-spotter.)
Maybe there is an epidemic (some people blame petrochemical pollution) but I guess in the past there were people like that and they were just labelled weird. Either way, I actually suspect it is the next phase in evolution, i.e. homo aspergers.
