Data were collected from 20 children/adolescents with ASD. Data from two participants were not analyzed as these participants had co-morbid diagnoses of ADHD. Data from another participant were excluded as despite having a clinical diagnosis of ASD, she failed to reach cut-off for ASD on the two screening measures that we used to ensure the homogeneity of our sample (further details are given below). From the remaining 17 participants, data from four participants were excluded as these participants did not show an independent component in their data decomposition that fulfilled the criteria imposed for IC selection (further details are given below). Data are therefore presented from a total of 13 participants with ASD.
