Resting-state network pairs that were found to have a statistically significant effect of diagnosis (i.e. autism spectrum disorder vs. typically developing controls) or sex (females vs. males) at a statistically significant level (FWER-corrected p-value < 0.05 for main effect of diagnosis and sex (i.e. using the whole sample) and female-specific effect of diagnosis (i.e. using only females) and uncorrected p-value < 0.05 for post hoc comparisons)

Main effect of diagnosis	Main effect of sex	Female-specific effect of diagnosis
Default mode—right executive control (F = 12.12, FWER-corrected p-value = 0.049)	Default mode—cerebellum (F = 12.22, FWER-corrected p-value = 0.046)	Autism spectrum disorder > typically developing controls High visual—basal ganglia (t = 1.45, Cohen’s d = 0.71, FWER-corrected p-value = 0.036)
Autism spectrum disorder > typical controls Default mode—right executive control (t = 3.48, Cohen’s d = 0.56 uncorrected p-value = 0.001, FWER-corrected p-value = .025)	Males > females Default mode—cerebellum (t = 0.96, Cohen’s d = 0.51, uncorrected p-value = 0.001, FWER-corrected p-value = 0.024)	Typically developing controls > autism spectrum disorder Visuospatial—language (t = 3.12, Cohen’s d = 0.68, FWER-corrected p-value = 0.031)
