From my own personal opinion, i'd say so. I personally think it's carried on the X chromosone and Males do not pass it down unless the mother of the child is an aspie/or NT carrier. This also explains why more males seem to have it - they only have one X chromosone.
But thats just my opinion. I have no facts to back it up.
That's kind of my theory too.
Assuming the ASD trait is a sex-linked one, it would have to be in a recessive X Chromosome. An aspie male would have that, an aspie female would have to have two(If she has a good one, it should override the recessive one and she would be NT, but a carrier).
How it turn out would be dependent on the partners themselves.
Aspie male and aspie female would most certainly produce an aspie offspring; a male would share the aspie trait of the mother or worse(if her recessive chromosome is more severe than her dominant), a female would either show the aspie trait of the mother or father depending which of their X chromosomes is dominant over the other.
NT male X Female aspie = Could produce an NT female or aspie male sharing traits of the mother.
Aspie male X NT female = Could produce NT female or NT male off spring.
Aspie male X NT(carrier) female = 50% chance of aspie female or male off spring.
