I predict that as "democracy" and equal rights increase in a society, so will the rate of asperger's.
Imagine if you are a young man living in a male dominant society. For example a country called "A-stan". Just being born a male in A-stan virtually ensures that one day you will have a wife. No need to really develop a winning personality. The marriage will be arranged, end of story.
Fast forward 100 years.
Now in A-stan, women have 100 percent equal rights under the law. They become educated, and financially independent. They can pick and choose. They can accept or reject men.
Certain men will win or lose at the game of love.
Of those men shut out of the romance market, once upon a time, just for being born male, they would have had a women.
The exception being if he were to become a shaman, monk, priest, etc.
