Autism in the somali community

[Ahmedahmed5000]

Autism rate is highly prevalent in the somali community because of vitamin d deficiency, not inbreeding which I've heard many times. Somalis are used to living close to the equator where they're use to high level of sun light but you won't find that much in for example scandanavia or Minneapolis. Our autism rate is very close to the rates in which whites have autism. That's why pregnant somali women should drastically increase their iodine salt intake and vitamin d supplements.

not only autism but vitamin D deficiency, can cause depression especially in Scandinavia and countries with less sun.
