Future studies would benefit from incorporating detailed dietary assessments, such as food diaries or validated questionnaires, to better control for potential dietary confounders influencing metabolic outcomes.The use of multiple comparisons and LSD post-hoc tests may increase the risk of Type I error; thus, marginally significant results should be interpreted with caution.
There was a marginally significant statistic effect for shorter reaction times in individuals with low compared to high autistic traits in the high load condition ( M diff = −91.31, SE = 60.27, CI for M diff = [−211.00, 28.38], t (92) = −1.51, p = 0.067, one-tailed based on hypothesis: low < high autistic-traits group, Cohen’s d = −0.33, two-tailed CI for d = [−0.91, 0.26]).
