Overview

Population-based study shows higher autism incidence in children of immigrant families, indicating a potential link with immigration status.

Key Points

  • This research examines the relationship between immigration status and autism prevalence in Manitoba.
  • Linked clinical registry with immigration registry
  • Analyzed incidence of autism in children aged 18 months to 6 years
  • Estimated adjusted relative risks (aRR) across immigration status subgroups
  • Autism risk highest among children with at least one immigrant parent (aRR: 2.29)
  • Higher autism likelihood for children of two immigrant parents (aRR: 3.08)
  • Maternal length of stay and refugee status were not linked to autism risk
