CNV copy number variation, ADI-R the ADI-R interviews revealed the 636 patients scored 20.7 ± 6.5 in the “qualitative abnormalities in reciprocal social interaction” (cut-off = 10), 15.2 ± 4.7 in the “qualitative abnormalities in communication, verbal” (cut-off = 8), and 7.0 ± 2.7 in the “restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behaviors” (cut-off = 3), SRS the Chinese version of the Social Responsiveness Scale (60 items; score 0 (never true) - 3 (almost always true); total scores can range from 0 to 180) and the t score was generated by comparing to Taiwanese norm, HFA high function autism. WCST percentile ≤ 10 %: poor performance, percentile 11~90 %: normal range, percentile ≥ 91 %: great performance
