In the text of the original article linked to this correction article, we, the authors, incorrectly reported results from the Social Responsiveness Scale 2nd Edition (SRS-2), which has been changed to the below, highlighted in bold text:

Revised text:

See page 797:

SRS-2 T-scores demonstrated a range of social communication abilities, from within normal limits (9/27) to severely impaired (10/27) (normative mean = 60, SD = 10) (Fig. 3, Table 3). Moderate to severe scores indicate a high likelihood of autism (15/27), however only five had confirmed diagnoses of autism and four other individuals had sensory processing disorder. Restricted and repetitive behaviours were moderately impaired (mean = 70.53) and were significantly different from social motivation (p = 0.0003, p < 0.01). All other social communication domains were mildly impaired.

See page 800:

Total T score on the Social Responsiveness Scale Second Edition measuring (SRS-2) (n = 27) measuring social behaviour (mean = 60, standard deviation = 10).

See Figure 3 caption, page 802:

Social behaviour domains on the social responsiveness scale second edition (T scores) (n = 27). Higher T scores indicate higher autistic traits (mean = 60, SD = 10, range 34–90). ≤59 social behaviour within normal limits, 60–65 mild difficulty, 66–75 moderate difficulty, ≥75 severe difficulty. Social awareness (mean = 65.5), social cognition (mean = 64.3), social communication (mean = 65.03), social motivation (mean = 62.4), restricted interests and repetitive behaviour (mean = 70.53). Individual data points = •, median = centre line, mean = x.
