A Analysis of the total ETDRS grid data. Average (arithmetic mean and standard deviations as error bars) of the macular and intraretinal layer thicknesses in µm and volumes in mm³ for autistic adults and NT. P values < .05 of the group coefficients from the robust regression models and their effect sizes (Cohen’s d) are depicted. B Macular and ONL thickness and volume in relation to the total SRS-2 scores of autistic adults. Spearman’s rho and corresponding p values with Benjamini-Hochberg (Benjamini & Hochberg, 1995) adjusted significance levels in parentheses (*/ns) are shown. d Cohen’s d; GCL ganglion cell layer; NT neurotypical adults; INL inner nuclear layer; IPL inner plexiform layer; ns not significant; ONL outer nuclear layer; OPL outer plexiform layer; RNFL retinal nerve fiber layer; PR + RPE photoreceptor-retinal pigment epithelium complex; SRS-2 Social Responsiveness Scale 2; * significant
