Note. AUT=autism; PDD-NOS=pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified; DD=non spectrum developmental delay; TD=typical development. Superscripts denote means that differ significantly at p < 0.01.

The Mirenda et al. (2010) SIB subscale is identical to the Lam & Aman (2007) Self Injurious Behavior subscale and was therefore excluded.

Overall mean differs significantly at p < 0.01.
