Child Children (age 6–11), Adol Adolescents (age 12–17), and adults are aged 18 years and above, IQ—full scale IQ, M male, F female, ADI social, ADI communication and ADI RRB refer to the Social, Communication and Restricted and Repetitive Behaviours total domain scores of the ADI-R (Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised). ADOS Social Affect, ADOS RRB and ADOS Total refer to the Social Affect, Restricted and Repetitive Behaviours and Total calibrated severity scores in ADOS-2. VABS refers to the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Second Edition Adaptive Behavior Composite standard score.

Medication refers to brain active medication (antidepressants, antimigraine, antipsychotics, anxiolytics, hypnotics, sedatives, psychostimulants, analgesics, etc.). Values from numerical variables are reported as mean ± standard deviation [min–max].
