  1. Note. Group differences between means (F) and respective significance levels (p) and effect sizes (ηp2) are reported. Standard deviations are in brackets. Where Bonferroni correction was applied, significance values have been adjusted so p <.05 indicates statistical significance. ASC: Autism Spectrum Condition; BAP: Broader Autism Phenotype; N: Number of participants
