  1. Demographic findings for the sample by TD or diagnosis and concordance of diagnosis. Means, standard deviations, and ranges are used to describe demographic data related to the participants. Participants may be represented in more than one column in the table if they have concurrent diagnoses (e.g., diagnosis of both ASD and ADHD). Examples of other NDDs include communication disorder, specific learning disorder, motor disorder, or other neurodevelopmental disorders
  2. MZ monozygotic, DZ dizygotic, SD standard deviation, IQ intelligence quotient, ASD autism spectrum disorder, ADHD attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, ID intellectual disability, NDD neurodevelopmental disorder
