Question 2
Your family is discussing autism because a neighbor was recently diagnosed as suffering from ASD. Most of the members of the family say they are not surprised, because autism occurs in better-educated families. You recognize that this is not true, so you
tell your family that their false correlation is a result of a referral bias. They look at you with puzzlement and ask you to explain. What do you say?
a. Better educated families with autistic children tend to demand more of therapists.
b. Better educated families are more likely to seek diagnosis and treatment for their children at specialty clinics.
c. These families tend to blame themselves for their child's autism and often are the source of media reports on autism.
d. These families tend to be sought out by researchers seeking individuals to study in research on autism.
