Description
Presents results from a public health surveillance project in Minneapolis on ASD in Somali children compared to non-Somali children. Using a multi-step records review, the project identified differences in characteristics of ASD across racial and ethnic groups. Somali children were more likely to have ASD + intellectual disability than children in all other racial and ethnic groups. Group differences in ASD symptom patterns and co-occurring behaviors are described.Back to Session: Poster Symposium: Surveillance and Developmental Monitoring
