Higher SocioEconomic Status (SES) linked to autism

[call me jaded]

Here.

 

They have discounted higher SES families gaining better access to diagnosis (ascertainment) by looking at those previously undiagnosed and still found a link. So they want to look at what factors (older parents, higher intelligence, cleanliness, etc) might be causing autism.

I think they want to look at whether those factors might be associated with autism.

 

Basically to tease out the factors that might be involved in having a higher socioeconomic status.

 

Being older parents, of higher intelligence, or cleaner etc isn't likely to cause autism, surely.
