The diagnosis refers to the original clinical assessment provided by a qualified psychologist or psychiatrist (AS = Asperger’s syndrome). Scores on the ADOS-G are derived from the diagnostic algorithm and represent the behaviour of the participant at the time of the study. TAS represents scores on the TAS-20 Alexithymia questionnaire.

a: Below cut-off on one ADOS-G subscale.

b: Below cut-off on both ADOS-G subscale.
