RESEARCH

Autism Correlation To Wealth Affirmed

Researchers filter out differences in diagnosis

By Tia Ghose of the Journal Sentinel tinyurl.com/2azbs8t

Upper-income parents are more likely to have children with autism, according

to a University of Wisconsin-Madison study.

The findings suggest either the genetics or the lifestyles of wealthier

people predispose their children to autism.

Researchers have spent decades trying to

untangle the factors that cause autism. Since the 1940s, scientists noticed

wealthier and more educated families had children with the disorder, said

Maureen Durkin, a UW-Madison epidemiologist and lead author of the study.

But while some U.S. studies found a link,

others done in Scandinavia found no connection between autism and social

class, Durkin said. Yet those countries also have social safety nets and

universal health care, so rich and poor alike can get to the doctor's office

for a diagnosis of autism. That led some researchers to pursue whether there

were differences in rates of diagnosis in the U.S., rather than rates of the

underlying disorder.

The findings were published July 12 in PLoS

One.

To see whether autism was more prevalent among

the wealthy, Durkin combined neighborhood census data on socioeconomic

status, which includes education, profession and income level, with data from

the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Autism and Developmental

Disabilities Monitoring Network. The surveillance network uses school records

to identify all 8-year-old children -
