I think it's largely a communication thing. There are starting to be blogs of people previously or currently considered "low-functioning" that found a medium to show that they're actually really smart and cool, eg Amanda Baggs. On the flip side, a disproportionate number of people ACTUALLY DIAGNOSED by the man (lol) seem to have low IQs, and it's definitely at least partially a disability insofar as it's an interference-fest.

My best friend was told all his life he was diagnosed Aspergers, but he found out about a year ago that he was actually diagnosed classically autistic. So who knows?
