1 The ESCS and CSBS, for example, rate combinations of forms, functions and roles of social
communicative behaviours (e.g., initiation of a joint attention bid through the form of showing).

2 All London-based families were approached. Some families based around Manchester and
Newcastle-upon-Tyne were also approached, when it would be possible for researchers to
conduct school visits in blocks of appointments in close succession.

3 In four instances, there was only one peer present, while in three cases, three peers were
present for the M-COSMIC filming.

4 It was not possible to counterbalance presentation order of the ACT and FP as the latter
was more motivating for children, and piloting revealed that children had difficulty
relinquishing the FP toys for the ACT materials if presented in this order.

5 The M-COSMIC Giving code could not be included in this comparison since it is not measured
in ADOS-G Module 2
