Mean age (m) for the ASD group was m = 30.75, with standard deviation SD = 8.23, while for the control group it was m = 30.81, SD = 4.8.
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.
