I wish you the best of luck in finding out why autism occurs - if/when you find the answer, generations to come will FOREVER be in your debt.

Your wife's reaction is common, and I hope you can keep focusing her on the fact that science doesn't know what causes Autism or Aspergers, and it is not her fault. However, that feeling of fault is a very common reaction (and one that can be heartbreaking at times.)
