I.e. a child enters the study as a control participant and later their older sibling receives a diagnosis of Autism. Do you switch their group to "sibling" or should that participant be removed.
Conversely, what if a child enters as a "sibling" and the older sibling loses their autism diagnosis? Again, do you switch their group to "control" or should that participant be removed.
Ethically speaking, what is the best approach?
