Estimated weight distributions of urinary chemicals from 100 repetitions of weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression, restricted to children with ASD. Phthalate metabolites in association with ADHD/noncompliance subscale, hyperactivity/impulsivity subdomain, and inattention subdomain are presented in (A), (B), and (C), respectively. Total chemicals in association with ADHD/noncompliance subscale and hyperactivity/impulsivity subdomain are presented in (D) and (E), respectively. Boxes indicate 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles, diamonds indicate mean, and whiskers indicate 10th and 90th percentiles of weights. The dashed line indicates the threshold (1/# of chemicals in the mixture). Full chemical names are listed in Table S2. ADHD, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder; ASD, autism spectrum disorder
