ASD, Autism Spectrum Disorder; IQ, Intelligence Quotient; SD, Standard Deviation; SOR, Sensory Over-Responsivity.

a

fMRI analysis Ns were: ASD-SOR-Low:21, ASD-SOR-High: 20, TD: 26

f

Compared between ASD-SOR-Low and ASD-SOR-High; p > .1

b,c

Paired groups are significantly different from each other (p < .05). If no superscript, all three groups are significantly different from each other.

d, e

Paired groups differ at p < .10.

*

p < .05.

**

p < .01.
