In Norway (with a completely different system of public health funding), children of immigrants have several times higher chance of being diagnosed as autistic. Results were "adjusted for parents' education and income". I have no idea how to interpret this. (Hopefully diagnoses didn't involve testing immigrant children on their command of the Norwegian language.)
