Original subscale table displays results from comparison between reference group and total study sample;

*

p<.05 before Benjamini-Hochberg correction,

**

p<.05 with Benjamini-Hochberg correction,

***

p<.01 with Benjamini-Hochberg correction.

Stereotypy scale was the only subscale that was unchanged in this sample, as a result the means and standard deviations were not repeated in the FXS-specific subscale portion of the table
