Abstract
A population-based study of infantile autism from western Sweden has been completed. Urban children with autism more often than age-matched children in the general population had immigrant parents from ‘exotic’ countries. No such trend was seen in rural children with infantile autism.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
