Atypical Cortical Resting States in Females with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Resting-state functional magnetic resonance images (rs-fMRI) was used to examine functional connectivity in females with ASD (50 ASD; 91 TD). Both hyperconnectivity and hypoconnectivity in cortical regions were observed. These findings indicate that females with ASD show brain differences that are somewhat similar to those of males.
