From mixed-effect Poisson regression models with a log link fitted to the rescaled data with person as a random effect. Ratings on the original scales (ranging from 5–15 for examiners and 3–9 for parents) were rescaled (to 0–10 and 0–6, respectively) by subtracting the scores from the maximum of the corresponding scales, so that zero scores correspond to no deficits in social-communication.
