It's sort of a combination. Yes, there's a lot of people with Asperger's in fandom, for two reasons - it's online (thus minimising face-to-face contact and non-verbal communication), and because of the 'obsessive interests' thing. A lot of the time, this is for something with a fandom, so getting involved in that is an awesome way to indulge in this interest, and to do so in a safe environment.

But that's a double-edged sword. With more visibility in fandom for people with Asperger's, there's also straight-out jackasses who go, "Oh hey, trouble with social interaction! That can TOTALLY be an excuse for me being a douchecanoe towards people!" Which, ironically, actually makes the real Aspies less visible, since, aside from discussions like this, we're a lot less inclined to actually mention it to people for fear of people saying, "Oh, you're just one of those douchecanoes using it as an excuse". Agh ;_;
