looking for info, can you help? Hello I came across this webpage on the internet: http://www.autism-pdd.net/testdump/test18257.htm There are some statistics on it about autism rates and ethnicity. Does anyone know where I can get hold of this study that provides these statistics. The link that was suppose to go to it appears not to work. It is basically the below info that I am interested in:   Autism cases by ethnic group match more closely to percent of the population than in 1987, but still have a ways to go (presuming that autism isn't more likely in one ethnic group than another). White:  46.7% of population in 2000 62.01% of autism cases in 1987 43.47% of autism cases in 2003 Hispanic: 32.4% of population in 2000 9.72% of autism cases in 1987 23.09% of autism cases in 2003 Black:  6.4% of population in 2000 15.37% of autism cases in 1987 8.98% of autism cases in 2003 Native American:  0.5 of population in 2000 0.36% of autism cases in 1987 0.22% of autism cases in 2003 Asian/Pacific Islander:  11.1 of population in 2000 Autism cases: 1987:  3.71% (Asian) + 0.22% (Polynesian) + 2.38% (Filipino) 2003:  7.74% (Asian) + 0.17% (Polynesian) + 2.85% (Filipino) Multiracial/Other:  2.9%  of population in 2000 6.16% of autism cases in 1987 13.50% of autism cases in 2003 Comment from CA's autism report: "Relative to the entire population of persons with autism, Asians and Hispanics increased the most in the 15-year interval between 1987 and 2002. Relative to the entire autism population in 2002, the Asian and Hispanic proportion more than doubled compared to 1987. Increased efforts on the part of regional centers over the past 15 years to reach specific ethnic groups may have contributed in part to the proportional increase in Asians and Hispanics with autism entering the system." Sources:  www.dds.ca.gov/autism/pdf/AutismReport2003.pdf http://www.cdss.ca.gov/research/res/pdf/GENtrends/CA_USpop/C A_USpop2000.pdf The report is still available but the address has changed.  Try this: www.dds.ca.gov/autism/docs/AutismReport2003.pdf It is important to remember when looking at statistics like these is that most of the cases are still undetected due to lack of information, cultural differences etc. In addition, any increases in the autism detection with in certain communiites over certain period might be due to better diagnoses techniques.
