Are autism and atheism linked?

Rusty brings up an interesting idea, that perhaps autism and atheism are correlated. At the very least, as he explained to me, if you believe Dawkin's notion that there's a genetic basis for the belief in God, then there must be a genetic basis for the non-belief in God. I've posted my personal opinions on the matter over there.
