First off, emigration from Somalia is not a representative sample of the full population. It's pretty much drawn from the top echelon people.

The broad masses there are pretty much impoverished peasants who never see a physician to be diagnosed.

Sweden has been busy deporting everyone who ever showed the slightest sympathy toward NOT GETTING ALONG WITH OTHERS for well over 4 centuries.

I presume the incidence of autism here among Swedish descendants is greater than the incidence of autism there!

BTW, you'll probably find an inverse relationship when it comes to empathy. Be an interesting test.

Hmmm? Pretty sure most Somalis came to Minnesota and Sweden as refugees. Not top echelon by any means.

I’m pretty sure parents know when their children have developmental problems. A doctor would be necessary to diagnose it as autism, but I think parents would notice anyway.
