Behavioral differences between the four clusters. A–D The BASC-2 was used to assessed differences in Adaptive Skills, Externalizing, Internalizing and Developmental Social Disorders between the clusters. E–H The Adaptive Skills Subcomponents (i.e., Social Skills, Functional Communication, Daily Living, Adaptability) were subsequently compared between the clusters. Statistical differences were assessed using Kruskal-Wallis tests followed by Mann-Whitney tests. Data are depicted as violin plots where the middle line is the median and the dotted lines are quartiles. The grey zones depict the scores at which a participant would be “at risk” for an associated disorder. Total n = 248, cluster sub is n = 81, Ba1 is n = 70, Bif is n = 53, Ba2 is n = 44. For the statistical significance, *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001, * indicates a statistical difference compared to the sub cluster, # compared to the Ba1 cluster, $ compared to the Bif cluster
