Note. As only a subsample had completed SRS data, the sample size (n) and % are provided for that measure. All other measures, data were available for the full sample. TD = typically developing; ASD = autism spectrum disorder; ASD + LC = autism and language concern; LC = language concern (no ASD); SCIO = social communication impairment only; PRS-SA total = Pragmatic Rating Scale–School Age total score; TOLD-SLI score = Test of Oral Language Development Spoken Language Index score; ADOS CSS SA = Autism Diagnosis Observation Schedule Calibrated Severity Score Social Affect; SRS SCI T score = Social Responsiveness Scale Social Communication Index T score.
