abstract = {Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is commonly understood as an
alteration of brain networks, yet case-control analyses
against typically-developing controls (TD) have yielded
inconsistent results. Here, we devised a novel approach to
profile the inter-individual variability in functional
network organization and tested whether such idiosyncrasy
contributes to connectivity alterations in ASD. Studying a
multi-centric dataset with 157 ASD and 172 TD, we obtained
robust evidence for increased idiosyncrasy in ASD relative
to TD in default mode, somatomotor and attention networks,
but also reduced idiosyncrasy in lateral temporal cortices.
Idiosyncrasy increased with age and significantly correlated
with symptom severity in ASD. Furthermore, while patterns of
functional idiosyncrasy were not correlated with ASD-related
cortical thickness alterations, they co-localized with the
expression patterns of ASD risk genes. Notably, we could
demonstrate that patterns of atypical idiosyncrasy in ASD
closely overlapped with connectivity alterations that are
measurable with conventional case-control designs and may,
thus, be a principal driver of inconsistency in the autism
connectomics literature. These findings support important
interactions between inter-individual heterogeneity in
autism and functional signatures. Our findings provide novel
biomarkers to study atypical brain development and may
consolidate prior research findings on the variable nature
of connectome level anomalies in autism.},
