arXiv:2606.01217v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by challenges in communication and behavior. This study examines the relationship between ethnicity and ASD traits, along with behavioural scores, sex and neonatal jaundice across three ethnic groups: White Europeans, Asians, and Middle Eastern individuals. We perform a logistic regression and show that ethnicity has a significant effect on incidence of ASD. White Europeans are 81% increased risk of ASD and Middle Easterners are at 79\% reduced risk of ASD compared to
This study is published as AI and large-scale data analysis are increasingly applied to complex health conditions, allowing for new insights into demographic and etiological factors.
A strategic reader should care as this research highlights potential ethnic disparities in autism diagnoses and prevalence, which could impact public health policies, healthcare resource allocation, and diagnostic protocols.
The understanding of ASD prevalence and risk factors may become more nuanced, requiring culturally sensitive diagnostic tools and targeted interventions for different ethnic groups.

- · Healthcare policy makers
- · Ethnic minority health advocates
- · One-size-fits-all diagnostic models
- · Healthcare systems unprepared for tailored interventions
This research provides a more granular understanding of ASD risk factors across different ethnic groups.
Increased awareness could lead to revised diagnostic criteria and screening programs to address identified disparities.
Long-term, this could inform more equitable healthcare resource distribution and culturally competent support systems for ASD.
