That is exactly opposite of my experience. I see a lot of autistism spectrum/Asperger's kids and adults, and they have all been Caucasian. And by "all," I mean every single one of them. Can't remember ever dealing with any Blacks, Asians, or Hispanics.

Me too. * I'm thinking*


Maybe one African American and American Indian but that is out of dozens of special ed classes, one residential training center and a state school.

When you see so many kids and adults with disabilities it's hard to pull the needle out of my haystack of memory.

I've been racking my brain over this ... I also recall a higher proportion of Ashkenazi Jews.
