Misdiagnosis, pediatrician-parent relationships, access to health care, and biases of healthcare providers have been studied and discussed in the literature as factors contributing to the delay in diagnosis of African-American children. The misdiagnosis of autism seems to be a factor contributing to a delay in the diagnosis of ASD in general, but particularly to the later diagnosis of ASD in African-American children.
