Table 3.

The pattern of social impairments found across select neurological and psychiatric disorders. It should be noted that this table attempts to synthesize a large amount of information and present it in a concise manner. It does not claim to accurately capture the heterogeneity that is found across individuals and subgroups, or include all the domains on which groups may differ. The down arrow refers to a decrease compared to typical, the up arrow refers to an increase compared to typical, and the dash means that there is either no difference from typical, or that it is unknown.
