The article seems to be published in JAMA network open, and as far as I can tell that publication is peer reviewed?

But it has been peer reviewed? And the criteria have been defined?

They do point to where the model was making its decision based off of, which was the optical disc, which they go over in the discussion with multiple previous studies showing biological differences between ASD and TD development.
You know, in the peer reviewed paper linked at the bottom of OP’s article on it.

For real.
It looks like the actual number of candidates were 958 and only 15% of that number were reserved for testing, the rest were used in AI training data. So in reality only 144 people were tested with the AI and there’s no information from the article on how many people were formally diagnosed of this subset.
