[quote=Anonymous]NP. Same here.

Here's what I found on wikipedia re Rockville:

"Rockville is also the center of the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Area's Jewish population, containing several synagogues, kosher restaurants, and the largest of the Washington area's three Jewish community centers, part of a complex which includes a Jewish nursing home, day school, theater, and educational facility. There are also high percentages of Jewish population in the surrounding areas of North Potomac and Potomac, which are largely residential and not as commercially suitable as Rockville. Rockville also became home to a Jewish population who fled Iran during the Islamic Revolution in 1979, continuing their cultural and religious Persian Mizrahi traditions."

The Jewish community is generally wealthy and are likely to demand and use resources for children with special needs.

I have coworkers in the medical field who say it seems to them the Jewish population has a slightly greater percentage of children with ASD or ASD-like traits. I hear this over and over again. These practitioners would never say this publicly, but this is what I hear. [/quote]
