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
