Researchers note rise in autism among Somali Americans

Season 2024 Episode 278 | 8m 25s

Diagnoses of autism have risen sharply in recent years across the U.S. The number of care providers has also grown, as have concerns about oversight. What's not in dispute is a public crisis around autism, acute among children of color, and alarming among Somali Americans in particular. Fred de Sam Lazaro reports from Minnesota, home to the largest Somali community in the U.S.
