Actually it seems like we are on the rise regardless of low marriage rates or not. I am one of the many Aspies living in Silicon Valley although I was not born in Silicon Valley rather near it, Stockton, California and grew up mostly in Clovis and Fresno I guess there could be somewhat of a correlation to that geographical area. I sure do like it in Silicon Valley it is a nerds paradise if not an aspie paradise. All the science centers and electronics corporations, great schools, and a decent location near the bay not to mention the diversity of the population and higher tolerant people as opposed lets say some one horse town in the midwest.
I absolutely love visiting the south Bay, I have not been there for a few years but I feel right at 'home' every time I'm there, and I always have to put in a ride to Alum Rock. Pity I haven't had time to hit the bookworm circuit on my trips, but the geology more inland calls out to me.
I was born in French Camp myself, although my family immediately moved back to the Inland Empire where I grew up. That area has a rich history and the 'feel' is similar to going down Monterey Rd. I suppose it's nearly as nerd friendly; UC Riverside is pretty big on ag science and entomology, I believe that's where they tracked the arrival of killer bees and West Nile, but I don't see much hope for an aspie having all their dreams come true there but still stands a better chance than OC, where everybody loves to wear a mask
