Nonverbal IQ (mean=100, SD=15) | 43 | 38 | 35 | 34 | 42 |
Verbal IQ (mean=100, SD=15) | 39 | 39 | 42 | 49 | 43 |

ADOS Calibrated Severity Score (range=1–10) | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | - |
Note: Nonverbal and Verbal IQ at age 5 and 6 were ratio scores from the Mullen Scales of Early Learning, at 7 were standard scores derived from the Differential Ability Scales, 2nd edition, and at age 10 were standard scores from the Stanford Binet Intelligence Scales, Fifth Edition. Adaptive Behavior Composite was measured from the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, 2nd edition and ADOS=Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule. The Calibrated Severity Score ranges from 1–10, with scores of 1–2 falling in the range of “minimal-to-no evidence of autism-related symptoms,” 3–4 “low level of autism spectrum-related symptoms,” 5–7 “moderate level of autism spectrum-related symptoms” and 8–10 “high level of autism spectrum-related symptoms.”
