Figure 2. Scatterplot of diagnosis differences in genital/breast (GB) and pubic hair (PH) Tanner stage for males and females.
No differences in development-related changes in GB or PH stage were detected between diagnoses in our sample’s age range for males or females (no difference in slopes), but ASD was associated with a later GB stage in females throughout the age range (mean shift in panel C). Jitter of 0.1 was added to the y-axis to avoid overplotting.
