Note: ADOS=autism diagnostic observation schedule, SOC = social-communication, RRB = restricted and repetitive behavior. All parameters are completely standardized. Factor loadings larger than .32 are shown to enhance interpretability (exception for “Sensory interest” which had no significant loading to any factor). Bolded: Clear loading to one factor.
