TL;DR: Developmental differences in functional connectivity between areas underlying self- and other-referential thought may explain altered developmental trajectories in the understanding of self and others in individuals with ASD.

TL;DR: The curvilinear association between social anxiety and reciprocity highlights the importance of examining nonlinear relations in individuals with HFA, and emphasizes that discrete profiles of social anxiety in individualswith HFA may necessitate different treatment options.

TL;DR: These findings extend prior work to a broader developmental range in ASD, and indicate ASD-related differences in frontoamygdala FC that may underlie core socioemotional impairments in children and adolescents with ASD.

TL;DR: No significant group differences in within- or between-network functional connectivity were observed between traditional diagnostic categories even when stratified by comorbidity and using clinical diagnosis and behavioral measures of executive function suggest that nosologies reliant on behavioral data alone may not lead to discovery of neurobiologically distinct categories.

TL;DR: The spectrum hypothesis is supported, highlighting the utility of self-report temperament measures for understanding individual differences in comorbid behavior problems among children and adolescents with HFA.
