New research from the University of Minnesota concludes 8-year-olds in Hennepin and Ramsey counties are diagnosed with autism at a higher rate than the national average. Those behind the study said the findings highlight the need for robust services to help identify and treat people with autism spectrum disorder. Autism is a developmental disability that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral difficulties. It has been a major concern in the Twin Cities Somali-American community. Unfounded fears that the measles vaccine contributes to autism helped fuel a large measles outbreak that mostly sickened unvaccinated Somali-American Children. To gauge the incidence of autism, U of M researchers looked at 2014 medical and education records of nearly 10,000 8-year-olds in Hennepin and Ramsey Counties. They discovered that 2.4 percent of them had been diagnosed with autism. That’s considerably higher than the national average of 1.7 percent. The lead researcher, Amy Hewitt, said with more than 30 percent of Minnesota’s population residing in those two urban counties, the study underscores the importance and challenge of identifying and treating autism. “A lot of children in Minnesota have autism and we need a service system that can find them early, get early intervention services to them, make sure that they’re getting the treatment and education they need in schools and we have to keep in mind that these children grow up,” she said. “They’re going to transition, they’re going to need jobs, they’re going to need support throughout their life.” The relatively high prevalence of autism in Hennepin and Ramsey counties could result from health and education systems doing a better job detecting autism than in other parts of the country, Hewitt said. Researchers say autism is reliably diagnosable by age 2, but nearly half of the kids in the study had not been diagnosed until they were almost 5. “The earlier we can get intensive behavioral interventions to kids, the better their life outcomes are going to be and the less service they’re going to need when they’re older,” Hewitt. The study also examined autism rates among Somali- and Hmong- American children in the two counties. The autism rate among Somali-American children was 3.8 percent which is higher than the overall populations’ but researchers stress the difference is not statistically significant for both populations. They couldn’t rule out mere chance as the explanation. University of Minnesota public health worker Anab Gulaid said it’s important that the autism study results be understood in their full context, on April 26, 2018. Mark Zdechlik | MPR News But given the topic’s sensitivity in the community, the researchers fear the findings may lead some in the Somali-American community to conclude their kids are more likely to become autistic. That could further impede efforts to ensure Somali-American kids get their vaccines. University of Minnesota public health worker Anab Gulaid, a Somali-American woman, said to help head that off she and other researchers presented their findings to community leaders before making their results public. She expects more such meetings will take place. “We are certainly available to present the information at community sites and talk to anyone who’s interested in understanding the context,” Gulaid said.

The children can't believe their luck. Storms and showers have turned their dirt football pitch into a lake. Source: Hiiraan Online

The children can’t believe their luck: storms and showers have turned their dirt football pitch into a lake. Youngsters scamper and splash through the murky water, chasing one another, leaping and laughing. Any entertainment is welcome in Dadaab, one of the biggest refugee bases in the world. An estimated 235,000 people, most of them Somalis, live a bleak life largely defined by drought, dust and destitution. But the children’s fun is fleeting. The seasonal rains also bring cholera and malaria, destroy rickety hand-made homes and paralyse the aid operation that is the refugees’ lifeline. Some tracks and paths in the camps are thigh-deep in water. A woman gathers her soggy hijab about her as she wades through it. A man rolls up his trousers as high as he can but they still get wet. Progress is slow. “We have nowhere to sleep… the water has covered everything,” said Hassan Yussuf, a 34-year-old father of five. The earth floor of his home, built of thorny sticks and corrugated tin, is under 20 centimetres (almost eight inches) of water. – Search for dry land – The family has relocated to the foot of a nearby tree, their meagre belongings hung in its branches. Inside their hut only one bed remains, above the waterline for now. On it and still dry lies Yussuf’s blind, 80-year-old mother. “I hang out in one place or another, always looking for somewhere dry,” he said, hoping the night will not bring more floods. “Dadaab is located on a plain where the rainwater does not drain easily, there are no drainage systems and no nearby river,” explained Caleb Odhiambo of charity Save the Children, which works in the camps. “It can be several weeks before the water returns to a normal level.” In the meantime, pit latrines are overflowing, contaminating the water and threatening to spread disease. Cholera is the greatest danger, especially for children who play in — and anyone who drinks — the contaminated waters. Every year rainy-season cholera outbreaks infect many hundreds of the refugees who have fled cycles of civil war and famine in Somalia since 1991. During the last heavy rains, in late 2015, more than a thousand people were infected and 14 of them died. On top of that, the transformation of the camp from desert to swamp brings with it mosquitoes, and so malaria. – Flood or drought – “When the area is flooded, people are exposed to several diseases,” said 25-year-old Dadaab resident Mokhtar Dahari. The day before, he said, a child drowned in the rainwater nearby. “Because of the floods, people cannot access the health centres,” Dahari said. A driver working for a non-governmental organisation in Dadaab confirmed that some parts of the camps are “flooded and inaccessible. Humanitarian activities are slowed down.” For now, Dahari has been spared: the floodwaters stopped a few meters (yards) from his hut. Clad in sopping jeans and clutching a shovel, he fills sandbags to barricade his home ahead of the next storm. The rains, Dahari said, are enough to make him long for drought. “If the water rises again, the foundations of my house will be destroyed,” he said. Odhiambo bitterly observed: “In Dadaab, you are doomed when it doesn’t rain, and doomed when it does.” Source: AFP
