Correction to: Scientific Reports https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-02504-8, published online 08 December 2021
The original version of this Article contained an error in the Discussion section, where.
"If we assume 1% of the 52 million adults in the UK have autism and that dog ownership among this population is as popular as other adults at 26%, then dog ownership would be responsible for preventing around 135 thousand suicides among autistic adults in the UK alone."
now reads:
