Abstract
This paper explores neurological differences in social interactivity symptoms among autistic adolescents, using n = 5,000 from the ABCD study. The study reveals correlations between brain activation in Broca's area and social deficits. No significant correlation between brain activation and visual and verbal symptom severity is found, challenging previous research.
