The report emphasizes a notable rise in autism diagnoses among adults aged 26 to 34, reflecting a 450% increase, raising questions about the interpretation of these figures.
Luke Grosvenor revealed the study's aim was to assess adult autism diagnoses, noting past research had primarily focused on children, indicating a need for broader research.
The narrative surrounding the increase suggests a significant portion of adults may have been previously undiagnosed, but the study does not directly confirm this implication.
Andy Shih from Autism Speaks highlighted the study's relevance for adults who may have slipped through the cracks during childhood diagnosis, pointing to a historical oversight.
