Table 1. Group characteristics.

The characteristics of our autism and control groups are presented in this table. IQ scores, as measured by the WAIS-IV are significantly different between the two groups and as a result they were included as a covariate in all our analyses.

	Autism	Control	p-value*
Age mean (std)	28 (9)	26 (5.8)	>0.5
Gender n (%)
Male	35 (81)	35 (83)
Female	8 (19)	7 (17)
IQ mean (std)	105 (13.4)	113 (11.6)	<0.5

Note:

^*Mann–Whitney U was used when non-normality could not be excluded, else ANOVA.
