Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Suzanne asked regarding "Texas study confirms lower autism rate in Hispanics" Perhaps they may have been less likely to have followed a rigorous vaccine schedule if traditional healthcare mandates and suggestions were not easily available to them or encouraged.....Suzanne REAACH ----------------------------------------------------------------- Right on....Suzanne. This article concluded with: "Whether lower autism prevalence in Hispanics is attributable to other, still-unexamined socioeconomic, health care delivery or biological factors "remains a crucial area for further research," Palmer and colleagues conclude." Well...as for studying "health care delivery".....how about beginning with a study of vaccination rates among the Hispanic population in Texas?

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 I spoke with staff from the Detroit Institute for Children several years ago at a resource fair, and they said they saw very little autism in the inner city, period, regardless of ethnicity. They also said that it was their observation that children in the inner city were less likely to be vaccinated due to theorized transportation issues, and they see a huge rush in August and September as school is starting each fall, of parents bringing kindergartners in to get caught up on vaccines so their children may go to school. It's definitely something worth looking into.
