The selected 9 control participants were also divided into two significantly different groups of "skillful" and "less skillful" readers (U = 5724, N1 = 5, N2 = 4, p < 0.001, two-tailed) ( Table 2).
we had Group A readers including 4 autistic and 4 non-autistic "skillful" readers, which did not differ significantly in terms of answering scores (U = 5512, N1 = N2 = 4, p = 0.129, two-tailed) and a Group B readers consisting of 5 autistic and 5 non-autistic "less skilful" readers with no statistically significant difference in their answers (U = 8244, N1 = N2 = 5, p = 0.193, two-tailed), as shown in Table 2.
