Error in Table
In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Table 1 as published. The value reported for “Concentration” was incorrectly shown as “0.000”. The corrected Table 1 appears below. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
Text Correction
Additional minor revisions were also made to improve clarity and ensure consistency with the Academic Editor’s recommendations. Specifically, (i) p-value notation was standardized across the relevant tables (e.g., “p < 0.001” rather than “p = 0.000”); (ii) a note was added to Table 2 to explicitly state that Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients were reported; (iii) wording in Table 3 and Section 3.3.1 was revised from “predicting” to “examining associations” to avoid unintended predictive implications in this cross-sectional study; (iv) Table 4 title/wording was adjusted to avoid describing the results as “hierarchical” in the table heading, while keeping the model specification, reported statistics, and interpretation unchanged; (v) the supplementary table reference was corrected for consistency (Supplementary Table S2); (vi) in Section 3.3.2, brief explanatory sentences were added to interpret the VIF values (confirming the absence of problematic multicollinearity) and to clarify the interpretation of the regression pattern in which AAC-Q becomes non-significant after adding ASD- and ADHD-related difficulties (suggesting possible overlap); and (vii) minor wording adjustments were made in the Discussion (Section 4.2) and Conclusions (Section 5) to improve clarity and maintain consistency with the cross-sectional design. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
