In model 2, the nonsignificant paths are between EF and ASD (β = − .29), between ToM and ADHD (β = .16), and between ASD and ADHD (r = .03). List of abbreviations: CST card sort task, TMT Trail Making Test, OW Opposite Worlds, NB number backward, PD planning/drawing task, AT animated triangle, PHG penny hiding games, RME Reading the Mind in the Eye tasks, EF executive function, ToM theory of mind. Abbreviations for ASD or ADHD measures: ADOS Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, ADI-R Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised, SRS Social Responsiveness Scale, DSM Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, SDQ Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, PONS Profile of Neuropsychiatric Symptoms.
