Migration or ethnic minority status and risk of autism spectrum disorders and intellectual disability: systematic review

European Journal of Public Health | 13 October 2020
There is an emerging evidence that the migration and the ethnic minority status are associated with the risks of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disability (ID). This systematic review aimed to investigate whether associations are specific to ASD or ID; whether and which migration-related or ethnically determined factors are associated with the risk of ASD and ID; and what mechanisms may explain these risks.
