  1. In the central columns, means are followed by standard deviations in parentheses, followed by ranges
  2. ASD autism spectrum disorder, NT neurotypical, AQ autism quotient, WASI Weschler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence
  3. aAll ASD participants scored 21 or higher on the AQ except one, who scored 9. Additionally, one neurotypical participant scored 32 on the AQ. We ran all analyses with and without these two participants treating them as potential outliers. The pattern of results was unaffected by their removal, and thus, we kept these participants in all analyses
