Abstract

Three boys diagnosed as suffering from autistic disorder were born in Sweden to mothers born in Uganda. Two were related but the third boy was unrelated to the others. The prevalence for autistic disorder in Göteborg children born to mothers who were born in Uganda was 15% which is almost 200 times higher than in the general population of children. The possible reason for the high autism rate in this particular ethnic subgroup is discussed.

摘要

三名被诊断患有自闭症谱系障碍的男孩出生在瑞典，他们的母亲出生于乌干达。其中两名男孩有亲属关系，但第三名男孩与其他两人无亲属关系。在哥德堡，母亲出生于乌干达的儿童中，自闭症谱系障碍的患病率为15%，几乎是儿童总体人群患病率的200倍。本文讨论了这一特定种族亚群中自闭症发病率高的可能原因。
