^a SBQ = Sensory Behavior Questionnaire (lower scores reflect greater levels of sensory behaviors)

^bSCQ = Social Communication Questionnaire (higher scores reflect greater levels of autistic symptoms)

^cADOS = Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (higher scores reflect greater levels of autistic symptoms

^dSCAS-P = Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (higher scores reflect greater levels of anxiety symptoms)

^eSSP = Short Sensory Profile (lower scores reflect greater levels of sensory behaviors)
