Correlations between increases in connectivity between pairs of brain regions after accounting for significant association with age at baseline

		Vineland socialization		Expressive One‐Word Vocabulary		Clinical Global Impression‐Improvement		Age
		r	p	r	p	r	p	r	p
L fusiform	L superior temporal	.39	.1	.38	.12	−.33	.18	−.56	.01
L thalamus	L hippocampus	.54	.02	—	—	−.33	.18	−.58	.009
L temporal pole	L pallidum	.49	.04	—	—	−.41	.09	−.50	.03
R superior temporal	R pallidum	—	—	.43	.08	−.38	.13	−.52	.02

Associations between changes in frontal, temporal, and subcortical region of interest connectivity and changes in behavior between baseline and 6 month visits were examined using the Spearman rank correlations with age at baseline included as a covariate. Higher scores on the Vineland socialization subscale and Expressive One‐Word Vocabulary Test and lower scores on the Clinical Global Impression‐Improvement represent improved functioning.
