ASD: autism spectrum disorder; TC: typical controls; FIQ: the full-scale intelligence quotient; FD: frame-wise displacement; ADOS_COMM: communication total subscore of the classic ADOS; ADOS_SOCIAL: social total subscore of the classic ADOS; ADOS_STEREO: stereotyped behaviors and restricted interests total subscore of the classic ADOS.
