Fig. 1. Developmental trajectories for language, non-verbal cognitive, or autism symptom measures.
This figure shows developmental trajectories for all groups (TD, red; LD/DD, green; ASD Good, blue; ASD Poor, purple) on the Mullen expressive language (EL) (A), receptive language (RL) (B), visual reception (VR) (C) subscales, and the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS). Plots show the group-level trajectory (solid line) estimated from mixed-effect modeling after taking into account individual-level trajectories (dotted lines, unfilled circles). The colored bands indicate the 95% confidence band around the group-level trajectory.
