ESEM for ASD sample Note: The ESEM conducted estimated the loading of all observed variables on all latent factors. However, for the purpose of clarity, only those paths that represent loadings significant at p<.001 are shown in this simplified path diagram. Parameter estimates can be found in Table 5. The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule Repetitive Behavior Calibrated Severity Score is not included in the figure as it did not load significantly onto any of the factors. VABS = Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales; COM = Communication Standard Score; DL = Daily Living Standard Score; SOC = Socialization Standard Score; MOT = Motor Skills Standard Score; PPVT = Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test Standard Score; EOWPVT = Expressive One Word Picture Vocabulary Test Standard Score; MSEL = Mullen Scales of Early Learning; VR = Visual Reception T-Score; FM = Fine Motor T-Score; RL = Receptive Language T-Score; EL = Expressive Language T-Score; ADI = Autism Diagnostic Interview; Social = Social Interaction Domain; Comm = Communication Domain; RRB = Restricted and Repetitive Behavior Domain; SCQ = Social Communication Questionnaire Total Score; RBS-R = Repetitive Behavior Scales-Revised Total Score; ADOS = Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule; SA CSS = Social Affect Calibrated Severity Score; CSBS CQ = Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales Caregiver Questionnaire; Social = Social Total Score; Speech = Speech Total Score; Symbolic = Symbolic Total Score; CBCL = Child Behavior Checklist; Affect = Affect Problems T-score; Anxiety = Anxiety Problems T-score; Hyper = Hyperactivity Problems T-score; OD = Oppositional Defiant Problems T-score; ER = Emotionally Reactive T-score; Sleep = Sleep Problems T-score; PDD = Sleep Problems T-score
