All analyses were adjusted for age, sex, race, and family income. P for trend shows results within the non-ASD groups. The non-ASD children were categorized into four groups according to the 33, 66, and 95 percentiles of their SSRS score (herein referred to as Q1, Q2, Q3, and the top 5%), where higher score indicated more prominent autistic-like traits. Children with ASD were classified as a distinct group.
