Note: Only significant results are reported in Table 4. Regret. behaviour having engaged in sexual behaviours that were regretted, Unwant. behaviour having engaged in unwanted sexual behaviours, Unwant. advances having received or been the victim of an unwanted sexual advance, Aut autistic, non-Aut non-autistic controls, GI gender identity, SO sexual orientation, DV reported negative sexual experience (regretted, unwanted sexual experience or unwanted sexual advance). Reference category = ‘female’ for all analyses investigating gender identity. Reference category = ‘heterosexual’ for analyses investigating sexual orientation. Age and the comorbid diagnoses of ADHD status, major depression, and ‘no’ reported comorbid diagnoses were controlled for in all analyses. As each controlling covariate was non-significant in all analyses, we do not present or interpret these results
