Goldsmiths ASD Diagnosis Project

Jon

Goldsmiths are looking for people to fill out a survey:

....if anyone is interested....

Parents

  • There are 38 million adults (20 upwards) in England & Wales (I am not clear what parts of the UK are intended to be represented).

    If autism affects 1% of the adult population, that's 380,000 individuals.

    You sampled, using an overly long survey that deterred people from completing it, an unspecified fraction of 1000 respondents that have autism - say 380 individuals, that's a sample of 1 in a thousand adults with autism.

    Wow.........

    I really do not know how this passes as science. The way it was collected seems to have been voluntary and uncontrolled, or selective without adequate specification.

    Yet you will publish outcomes (no doubt with the smallest print mention of the limitations) from an educational establishment supposed to have a high research profile.
