Note. Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) data are from the most recent ADOS administration (either 24 or 36 months). Final sample included n=29 for High-risk Autism with no clinical diagnosis and n=8 for High-risk Autism with an Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis at the most recent lab visit.
