Age, full-scale IQ, and severity symptom scores are presented in mean ± SD. Abbreviation: “ASD”, autism spectrum disorder; “A”, “AS”, “P” in Type represents Autism, Asperger Syndrome and Pervasive developmental disorder—not otherwise specified, respectively; “ADOS”, Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule; “IQ”, intelligence quotient; “Social”, social interaction; “Comm”, communication; “Repeat”, stereotyped behaviors and restricted interests.
aTotal score = social interaction + communication.
