  • Somalis in #Minnesota are experiencing high rates of Autism. While the culture has no word for Autism, one mother shares her pain of the having to raising two sons who are born with this complex disorders of brain development. These disorders are characterized, in varying degrees, by difficulties in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviours. Marian Ahmed, started the Somali Parents Autism Network to help others end the shame and stigma. #SomalisWithAutism #EndTheShame #AutismAwareness

    very touching story. i have a little gorgeous boy who also has autism and let me tell you this it's the hardest disability I've ever came across walahay. the cure of autism is first accept it. secondly don't be ashamed of your child . educate yourself and and give that child as much love as you can. there is a reason allah gave you this special precious child. GIVE THEM UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND BE PROUD OF THEM❤

    I am from Ethiopia and agree with everything you said, especially the fact that us Africans are unaware of autism and the classification of normal and crazy people. Even tho I am only 17, I try my best to break the mentality Ethiopian parents have on classifying people. I am proud of what you guys are doing.. Keep up your videos.

      Queen Sara I actually live in dubai and am a Somali from the Ethiopian region I do speak 4 languages. all fluent Somalia Oromo ahmaric and English I meant a Ethiopian kid who's brother had autism My younger brother also had autism. so my mother and my friends mother would meet and talk. eventually I was put room Quran classes with this kid it was hard to communicate with him since he only knew Arabic and his English was a little off so I was sitting memorizing the Quran and his older brother the one with autism read with the most beautiful voice ever
      and I started to realized that Allah truly has given everyone a chance and for it to be denied in Ethiopia and somalia makes me Mad not only because it's ignorant but it dehumanize's people .

    My 10 year son has autism.my son used to wander a lot when he was 3-7 year old but alhamduliah he is a different person today he outgrown a lot of the autism symptoms. For example he speaks well, he reads he writes,and doesn't wander any longer masha alaah. Also he goes to dugsi , has good eye contact, and good attention. I just want to share my story so the other mothers who have young children with autism can have hope. Thank you sister hodan and marium for sharing with us this great story.

Your older son may still be too young to understand now, but Insha Allah, as he gets older he will see and appreciate the effort you are putting in with his younger brother and the sacrifices you are making for the whole family. He'll see that you are a great role model for him and his brother, Insha Allah. Take care.

Its sad dat our somali pple will never come forward n open up ab their struggle to get help n educate others. Its kinda taboo to talk ab mental problems in our community as well as sexual transmitted diseases. As health worker by myself it hard to convince our ummah its okay to hard sick child or it okey to have some sort of health issues. Da results is always da same bcz of their ignorance they won't get a proper health care bcz of da stigma n what other pple will think ab them😢

Having done so much research on this topic I have come to a very well informed decision that its mainly the vaccines. Please my Somali people stop vaccinating your children. There's a study done by the CDC which was ultimately covered up that shows black boys being more like to develop autism after being given MMR vaccine. Please do your own research and those moms who don't speak the language, I hope someone informs you Insha Allah. May Allah protect all our children and every child.

    "There is no word for Autism in Somali".
    Actually there is a word for Autism in Somali but it is 'superstitious belief word.' Autism is called in Somali (Daabeel, translates to wind in English). back in Somalia when a kid has a "autism" you'll hear people saying
    ~ waar cunugan Daabeel baa hayso, in other words the kid is suffering autism. Somalis believe when specific particular superstitious wind hits someone they get autism.

      Diva Chevy​​​ Somali believe superstitious wind causes a person to function less in other words become "autistic". So they call it Daabeel just like they call malaria "mosquito" kanaco, means mosquito. Somali people call the disease what they think "causes" in this case they think a particular wind causes autism so they call it Daabeel, wind. Also the word Daabeel has two different meaning in Somali.
