I’ve heard it’s related to vitamin D. Although hearsay it does come up a lot as a potential reason. We need more research because how are we this disproportionately affected. That means if 16,000 Somali children were born in Minnesota 1,000 would have autism. In the UK class sizes are just over 30 so that would be two children per class."Somali community hiding away children who have potential autism. I wonder what the numbers are in Canada and the UK.
