Fig. 3

Self-reported depression relation to observed vs. subjective perception of social relations. (A) Compared to individuals with ASD without depression, those with ASD and self-reported depression diagnoses show lower subjective satisfaction with social relations but no difference in objective social contacts. The triangles represent the difference between those with self-reported depression and those without self-reported depression. (B) scatter plots show social relation to Zung self-rated depression symptoms with consistent findings to self-reported depression diagnoses. The graphs were made with values regressed out covariates (sex, age, IQ and SES). All error bars and shaded areas represent 95% confidence intervals
