Clinical profiles of the subgroups of children with ASD. (A) Standardized scores observed for each child of the Tb-inconsistent subgroup. (B) Standardized scores observed for each child of the Tb-consistent subgroup. Age, child’s chronological age; vDQ, verbal developmental quotient; nvDQ, non-verbal developmental quotient; CARS, score at the Childhood Autism Rating Scale; first step/words: age of first steps/words; BSE-F1, Factor 1 of the Behavior Summarized Evaluation Scale; BSE5, item 5, effort toward communication using voices and/or words; BSE6, item 6, lack of facial expression and gestures. Items at the BSE are rated from 1 to 5 according to the severity of the disorder: 1 if the disorder is absent, or 5 if the symptoms are prominent and always observed. The final CARS scores is the sum of 15 categories scores; in the current study, the average (±std) CARS score was 29 (±5) so that the 0 on the radar chart represents 29.
