Table 3.

Correlation (i.e. Pearson r) between the functional brain connectivity (FBC) of pairs of resting-state networks (RSNs) and the ADI-R score for social and communication (verbal) functions and repetitive, restrictive and stereotyped patterns of behaviors (RRB)

Pairs of resting-state networks	ADI-R Social	ADI-R Verbal	ADI-R RRB
Default mode—right executive controla	Male + female: r = − 0.10, p-value = 0.426	Male + female r = − 0.09, p-value = 0.472	Male + female r = − 0.00, p-value = 0.972
Default mode—cerebellumb	Male: r = 0.23, p-value = 0.168 Female: r = 0.16, p-value = 0.401	Male: r = 0.11, p-value = 0.518 Female: r = 0.14, p-value = 0.444	Male: r = 0.04, p-value = 0.834 Female: r =0 .27, p-value = 0.150
High visual—basal gangliac	Female: r = − 0.2, p-value = 0.906	Female: r = − 0.11, p-value = 0.570	Female: r = 0.18, p-value = 339
Visuospatial—languagec	Female: r = − 0.08, p-value = 0.680	Female: r = − 0.8, p-value = 0.656	Female: r = − 0.05, p-value = .0.808

Correlations are considered statistically significant at a Bonferroni corrected significance level of p-value < 0.017 and are highlighted with an asterisk. Only the pairs of RSNs surviving statistical comparison of the FBC—^aautism spectrum disorder vs. typically developing controls; ^bfemales vs. males; and ^cfemales with autism spectrum disorder vs. typically developing female controls—were tested for correlation with ADI-R scores
