Great, now I've got Lewky's "I Have One Daughter" back in my head only now it's "I Am Their Mother..." 🤣
I'm originally from the Northeast and I am the same way 😆
I found out this month that I have an extra vertebra. We should start a circus...
Don't need to tell a former middle school teacher that twice. 😆
Are you saying this because such studies don't stratify based on the (arbitrary) age-based cutoff designating which adolescents constitute legal "children" vs. "adults" (in which case, would such stratification help?), because of the differences between young adolescents and older A/YA, or both?

(and while I don't have/have never pursued a formal autism "diagnosis," my colleagues at that school did ask me on at least two occasions if I might consider it....) 😆
Not sure this will port well to the level you're teaching (law students? Undergrads?), but something I did as a Grade 8 teacher was to ask for "thumbs up, thumbs down, thumb sideways" indicators after a lecture segment to check for understanding. Got most of the room to give me something concrete.
Well, more commonly we would whack a piece off with a rock hammer so we could inspect a fresh surface, but maybe that's NYK. 😆
