N = 426 (ASD = 365, MAD = 61). df = 1. Odds ratios >1.00 indicate increasing likelihood of ASD, whereas values <1.00 indicate increasing likelihood of being assigned to MAD. Social Interaction domain, subdomain A2: failure to develop peer relations; communication domain, subdomain B2: relative failure to initiate or sustain conversational interchange; restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped pattern of behavior domain, subdomain C1: encompassing preoccupation or circumscribed pattern of interest; C3: stereotyped and repetitive motor mannerisms; ADI-R: Autism Diagnostic Interview–Revised; ASD: autism spectrum disorder; MAD: mood and anxiety disorder.
