  1. PIQ = Performance-based IQ; VIQ = Verbal IQ; AQ = Autism Spectrum Quotient; DIF = TAS-20 subscale Difficulties Identifying Feelings; DDF = TAS-20 subscale Difficulties Describing Feelings; EOT = TAS-20 subscale Externally-Oriented Thinking
  2. Regression model estimates with results of dominance analysis in ASD+ (N = 281) and ASD− (N = 119) samples. Lower limits (LL) and upper limits (UL) of bootstrapped confidence intervals for General Dominance Weights (GDW)
  3. Results of t-tests of coefficients (B) after adjustment of errors (SEadj) by robust regression are reported by asterisks
  4. *p < .05; **p < .01; ***p < .001
