is there a large number of Jewish people who have Aspergers?
There is a large number of Chinese who have tooth decay. There are a billion plus Chinese, and tooth decay is the world's most common medical condition.
But Jews are a small group, and aspies are a small group. So the absolute numbers of folks who are both Jews and aspies is small. Though the proportion of Jews who are also aspies might be larger than that of other ethnic/religious groups.
The first other person I knew personally, whom I also knew for a fact was an aspie was also Jewish (a guy I worked with).
