Does this mean if someone watches cartoon or trains tht he or she have autism
Idk I am just asking care to explain but more

A symptom of Autism is having special interests: Special interests are topics that autistic people are very preoccupied with, an intense hobby you could call it. Some will often turn every conversation to talk about that interest. One autistic persons special interest can be trains; Having an extensive knowledge on how they work, the first train ever created or the different types of trains. While another may be obsessed with cartoons or one Cartoon in particulae and know alot of things and be passionate about it.

Cartoons and trains were just an example of that. Simple watching cartoons and knowing about trains doesnt make you autistic. It’s the obsession (but not just obsession, you would have to compare this and see if you fit all the other Autism symptoms)

Lack of vitamin D, colonial diet, and stress from the civil war are all factors. Women who are pregnant in warzones also have a much higher chance of having a child with schizophrenia due to the stress. We also have high rates of schizophrenia in Somalia, not too sure about the Somalis in the U.S since it’s easier to treat than autism.

What happens when you marry the same sub clan. At least marry from a different sub clan for your children's sake.

The argument of Vitamin D deficiency is a great one. It needs deep in depth study. Not to mention Iron deficiency which happens to ALL women, not only African women.

My answer to your question

 

[Distant1]

University of Minnesota did reaserch and found:

Somali and White children were about equally likely to be identified with ASD in Minneapolis. Somali and White children were more likely to be identified with ASD than Black and Hispanic children.

■ Somali children with ASD were more likely to also have an intellectual disability than children with ASD in all other racial and ethnic groups in Minneapolis.

■ The age at first ASD diagnosis was around 5 years for Somali, White, Black, and Hispanic children. This means that many children in Minneapolis are not being diagnosed as early as they could be.

My answer to your question

I am not obsessed with anything tho I do watch a animes and cartoons
BTW does weed cause autism

And its mostly in Minneapolis that cant be a fluke. You have alot of somalis elsewhere in the US, that isnt near the numbers in autism cases.

Its due to surpise bombings for a period of almost 30 years. Who wouldnt suffer schizophrenia
