Group mean and standard deviations for scores on tests of mental (WASI) and language (CELF) abilities are reported for comprehensive TD and ASD groups. Subsequent analyses were restricted to children who produced compensatory responses. Mean and standard deviations are reported for these groups as well. Finally, post hoc analyses of compensatory responses resulted in a sub-division of the children in the ASD group into ASD-LOW and ASD-HIGH groups; their behavioral scores are also reported
