Correlational distances across participants. A: Pairwise correlational distance between participant pairs (each row/column represents a single participant, ASD top/Left, HC bottom/right). Participants in each group are ordered by mean distance, with ASD descending and typically developing controls (CON) in ascending order in order to position the participants with lowest mean distances (i.e. the most typical participants) in the center of the graph. B: Boxplots showing between-group differences in mean distance. C: Correlation between left DLPFC (LDLPFC) activity during N-Back (the beta weight for the 2-Back - 0-Back contrast) and mean correlational distance. Higher mean correlational distance was associated with lower LDLPFC activity during 2-Back - 0-Back performance across the sample.
