Abbreviations: ASD, autism spectrum disorders; BA, Brodmann area; H, hemisphere; L, left; R, right; TD, typical development.

^*Thresholds were P<.05 corrected for multiple comparisons at the cluster level and P<.05 at the voxel level (t>2.57 at peak).

^†Significant after covarying out verbal IQ.

^‡Survive only a small volume correction for multiple comparisons at P<.05 (k≥55 voxels)
