Table 1 Summary of demographic and clinical information for the 820 subjects from ABIDE-I project that fulfil the inclusion criteria and were selected for network analysis in this study. 395 subjects belong to the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) group and 425 subjects belong to the typically developing (TD) group. The subjects in both groups are age-matched (\(p = 0.835\)). Handedness data were missing for 137 ASD and 148 TD subjects. ADI-R social data were missing for 120 ASD participants. ADI-R verbal data were missing for 119 ASD participants.
