IQ: Intelligence Quotient (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale IV); AQ: Autism-spectrum Quotient; SRS: Social Responsiveness; IU: intolerance of uncertainty; GSQ: Glasgow Sensory Questionnaire. Note that IQ data from four NT participants are missing as they were not native Dutch speakers. Regarding the AQ, all the NT participants scored below the 32 cut-off threshold defined in [66], and below the 26 cut-off threshold suggested in [97] except for one NT participant who had an AQ of 29. ns: non-significant (p > .05), ***p < .001
