autisme
Targeting only patients with ‘pure’ diagnoses to participate in studies excludes those representing different ends of the functioning spectrum, which ultimately impedes autism research. Such diagnostic ‘boxes’ can separate individuals that are in fact close in behavior, such as is the case for a patient that just made the cut-off versus one that just missed it.

: "à peine arrivé" ? you make it sound as if it's some kind of competition with the aim of getting close to the "limit" - it's not - it's simply that some participant happened to be "borderline" for study inclusion.

c'est peut-être un problème de non "parfaite" compréhension du Français ? Le "happen" dont tu parles est "aléatoire", pas ici

Discussion
which could be, before translating it, rephrased as:
"... as would be the case of two patients that are not much different (/quite similar) but end up on the opposite sides of the cut-off"
What they are saying is that too strict "inclusion criteria" would exclude some borderline cases that are not significantly different from the "pure diagnosis".
