An asterisk (*) indicates a moderate correlation (r=∣0.30∣ or higher) and two asterisks (**) indicates a strong correlation (i.e., r=∣0.50∣ or higher) as defined by Cohen, 2013. Statistical significance testing was not performed. RBS-R = Repetitive Behavior Scale – Revised; BRIEF-A = Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function – Adult Version; TRAQ = Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire. Higher RBS-R scores indicate greater difficulty with restrictive and repetitive behaviors; Higher BRIEF-A scores indicate more difficulty with executive functioning; Higher TRAQ domain scores indicate more healthcare transition readiness.
