Statistical analyses had been carried out utilizing the Kruskal–Wallis take a look at and Chi-square take a look at.
The outcomes confirmed that the SAD group had the best SHY-SV scores, adopted by people with ASD, considerably surpassing different diagnostic teams. Within the OBS-SV scores, people with ASD ranked second, solely behind the OCD group, with considerably larger scores than the PD group and wholesome controls. For PAS-SV scores, the ASD group had the best scores after the PD group, however the distinction was not statistically vital in comparison with different teams.
