Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition. Understanding the brain's microstructure and its relationship to clinical characteristics important advance our understanding of neural supports underlying ASD. In current work, we implemented Gray-Matter Based Spatial Statistics (GBSS) examine characterize cortical assess differences between typically developing (TD) autistic males.
