All analyses used gender as a covariate. Polygenic scores derived using a threshold of p < .5 in the discovery sample genome-wide association study results (see text).

ADHD, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder; ALSPAC, Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children; CCC, Children’s Communication Checklist; SCDC, Social and Communication Disorders Checklist; ZINB: zero-inflated negative binomial.
