  1. Means (M) with standard deviations (SD) in the ASD group and the TD group with results of two-sided Student’s t tests (α = 0.05) and Cohen’s d as effect sizes.
  2. Autism quotient (AQ), Empathy quotient (EQ), Systemizing quotient (SQ), Reading the mind in the eyes test (RME), Sensory perception quotient (SPQ), Adult dyspraxia checklist (ADC), Beck’s depression inventory (BDI), Wortschatztest, (WST) Concentration ability test (D2), Intelligence quotient (IQ), Performance-based intelligence quotient (PIQ), Verbal intelligence quotient (VIQ), Years of education (YoE).
  3. aBartlett test revealed heterogeneous variances and results of Welch’s two-sample t test are reported.
  4. bData from one control participant missing.
  5. cShapiro-Wilk test revealed non-normality of data in groups and results of Mann–Whitney test with effect size (r) are reported.
