Quote:

n the United States, children with autism or other developmental disabilities are at least twice as likely to have asthma as their typically developing peers are, according to a new study1. And across all developmental disabilities, asthma is more prevalent among nonwhite children than white ones.

Isn't asthma sometimes an autoimmune issue, and autism is associated with autoimmune problems? I know my asthma is affected by autoimmune issues I have.
