Demographic information

	ASD + (n = 16; 5 female)	ASD − (n = 23; 14 female)	Group comparison (p-value)
Age	34.19 ± 12.41	39.57 ± 12.29	0.157
Verbal IQ	103.19 ± 19.48	105.35 ± 11.33	0.664
AQ	36.75 ± 6.76	35.70 ± 8.26	0.830
EQ	16.06 ± 9.98	19.74 ± 11.02	0.294
ADC	54.20 ± 15.19	42.9 ± 19.45	0.116
TAS20	59.44 ± 13.83	64.13 ± 10.24	0.165
BDI	13.53 ± 10.18	19.3 ± 8.63	0.064

Mean values and standard deviations, as well as group comparison (p-value) of age, verbal IQ (‘Wortschatztest/WST’), Autism Quotient (AQ), Empathy Quotient (EQ), Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS20), Adult Developmental Coordination Disorder/Dyspraxia Checklist (ADC), Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI). BDI data for one ASD+ person was missing and was imputed with the group mean. For the dyspraxia questionnaire (ADC), scores of 4 participants (3 ASD− and 1 ASD+) were missing and imputed with the respective group average. For age and TAS20 we performed a Mann–Whitney test because the values in the ASD− group were not normally distributed. For ADC we performed a Mann–Whitney test because the values in the ASD+ group were not normally distributed
