In the February 2021 issue of The Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics, the article “Socioeconomic Factors Account for Variability in Language Skills in Preschoolers with Autism Spectrum Disorders” by Olson et al.1 was published with images for Figures 1 and 2 in black and white instead of color as intended. Those color images have been updated in the online version of the article, and are presented here as well.

Figure 1.:

Distributions of socioeconomic variables. Frequency distribution of (A) MEL, (B) INR (household income adjusted by family size as a ratio of federal poverty threshold; an INR of one indicates living at the poverty threshold), and (C) median income (postal code based). A–C, The distribution curve for ASD, TD and combined ASD 1 TD groups is represented with red, blue, and black lines, respectively. D–F, Comparisons of (D) maternal education, (E) INR, and (F) median income (postal-code based) in TD and ASD groups. MEL among ASD participants was significantly lower than that of TD participants (t (104) 5 3.23, p < 0.002). ASD, autism spectrum disorders; INR, income-to-needs ratio; MEL, Maternal Education Level; TD, typically developing.

Figure 2.:

Associations between socioeconomic variables and RL and EL. A–D, Association between MEL and (A) EL skills as measured with MSEL EL, (B) parent-rated EL skills as reported on the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, (C) RL as measured with MSEL RL, and (D) parent-rated RL as reported on the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales. E, Association between INR and EL skills as measured with MSEL EL. ASD, autism spectrum disorders; EL, expressive language; INR, income-to-needs ratio; MEL, Maternal Education Level; MSEL, Mullen Scales of Early Learning; RL, receptive language; TD, typically developing.
