This study had a number of limitations. The study population enrolled in the RCT was somewhat advantaged relative to the Australian population in terms of maternal education (60% of parents in the RCT had a bachelor’s degree or higher vs 43% of Australian women aged 25-34 yearsThis study estimated potential cost savings in a national setting (Australia), facilitated by the existence of a national disability insurer. The generalizability of these findings to other contexts will depend on service supports available to autistic children. Repeating this study in other jurisdictions would be informative.
