What I’m most interested in is better understanding how they’re discretizing the presence or absence of autism. I can’t tell if the research tries to distinguish “magnitudes” of autism or if it’s just a binary result.

How does that matter? If you're diagnosed autism, then, guess what, you have autism. It's not binary, but why does it matter? If it goes from 0.04 autism to 0.79 autism. Nothing in life is black and white. The importance of this research was to find if a correlation exists. They confirmed that it does.

Because it’s called autism spectrum disorder. By definition, the outcomes and clusters of symptoms vary widely from “essentially mentally disabled” to “just awkward at eye contact sometimes.”

>>civili+I8
Spectrum is the wrong term though. Autism is a manifold with at least 5 independent axes.

That's why I use the term “spectrum”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrogram
