| Ethnicity, n (%) | ||

Full-Scale-2 IQ score is calculated from the scores of the Vocabulary and Matrix subscales of the WASI-2 (following Wechsler and Zhou28). These raw scores are then scaled to generate an IQ estimate that accounts for age differences in expected scores. Standard scores are reported here (M = 100, SD = 15).
The Social Responsiveness Scale (2nd edition) (SRS-2) is a self-report measure assessing levels of autistic behaviors over the past 6 months (Constantino and Gruber, 201230). Higher scores reflect greater autism severity.
M, mean; SD, standard deviation.
