Bold values indicate statistical significance (p < 0.05)

1

P-values adjusted for multiple comparisons using the Benjamini–Hochberg procedure

2

CGSQ scores assessed at ≤ 50th versus > 50th percentile for Vineland

3

Effect sizes are calculated as the difference in means divided by the pooled standard deviations. Values are interpreted as small (0.2), moderate (0.5), and large (0.8)
