“Today’s episode article critically analyses an Emotional Recognition Memory Training Program (ERMTP) study on autistic children in Thailand. Dr. Jaime Hoerricks uses a “Get Ready With Me” (GRWM) style to dissect the study’s methodology, examining its design flaws, small sample size, questionable reliability and validity, and lack of generalizability. Key concerns raised include the study’s deficit-based approach, reliance on parent-reported outcomes, and potential for encouraging masking. The analysis ultimately argues for a shift towards autism research that prioritises autistic authenticity and challenges societal pressures for conformity. Dr. Hoerricks advocates for more rigorous, inclusive research methods.”
