Characterization of the participants. The p-values are from two-sample t-tests (two-tailed) for the difference in means between the ASD and TD groups. NVIQ: Nonverbal IQ; VIQ: Verbal IQ; ASPS: Auditory Sensory Profile Score; ICSS: NEPSY-II Inhibition Contrast Scaled Score; SCSS: NEPSY-II Switching Contrast Scaled Score; SCQ: Social Communication Questionnaire lifetime score; SRS: Social Responsiveness Scale total score; ADOS: Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule score.
