For years I have been saying follow the money and you will find the cause for the rise in Autism. The vaccine-Autism controversy is just a distraction for the real culprit which is people abusing the system to get easy money.

Send them back asap. I suspect that there is very little autism in Somalia.

The scam problem is not just with Somalis in Minnesota. It is a problem all over the country. I have had parents bring their children in for evaluation and ask me to diagnose their kids with Autism. A few have even been dumb enough to answer honestly that they want their child diagnosed because they can get $750 more per month in SSI money. Yes I did report those parents to the authorities but they did nothing.

I imagine with the average IQ in Somalia being in the 60s, it’s hard to differentiate between just being mentally retarded and being autistic.

They need to stop this extra money/disability, whatever they call it. I’ve known of parents who label their child to get that money instead of strengthening and encouraging their child. Why is a disorder worth taxpayer funding.

I know comedy isn’t allowed to be funny anymore but I think the world is ready for an “Autistic? Throw another shrimp on the barbie” joke

It is a real thing especially in areas where the social workers and the employees at the closest SS office DGAF.

Autism has always been a scam. Your kid is introverted? On the spectrum! That child down the street has odd hobbies? Autistic! I want attention on Facebook? My child has autism!

The diagnostic criteria for "autism" is a joke. Same for any other mental illness.

You’re a clueless idiot. Introversion and weird obsessions aren’t even the primary criteria for a diagnosis. I can tell you’ve never even been around an autistic kid.

You know whats a shame? I would have immediately thought it was a scam because my initial thought would be "people in somali don't get autism".

I've been around dozens who have been diagnosed. But, you are correct. I haven't been around many who were truly autistic.

I fully agree there’s stupid leftards on Twitter than wanna be autistic. But the doctors aren’t actually diagnosing these losers.
I’ve seen and heard daily about the struggles these kids and their parents face. And believe me none of them are on Facebook being proud of it.
