I've made a research thesis for my MA, about the presence of subclinical autistic-like traits in the general population.
Some works proposed that these autistic-like traits are continously distributed in the general population and in the relatives of patients with ASD.
Is there any team working on it? What do you think about it?
Updates: I started a PhD about this topic. You can find details in the attached link.
