Comment on the validity of the Baron-Cohen study of autism in adults

I don’t understand how to answer the question
Hi! So validity means whether the study is actually measuring what it claims to measure. You could talk about whether it is high or low in ecological validity or population validity for example.
I haven't done the study yet so I can't answer the actual question for you but those are the kind of things you should mention.
Does the study have a big enough sample to be considered generalisable to the rest of the population? If yes, then it is high in population validity. If no, then it's low.
Is the study generalisable to a real life situation? That's ecological validity :-)
