abstract = {Autism is a common neurodevelopmental condition
characterized by substantial phenotypic heterogeneity, which
hinders diagnosis, research, and intervention. A leading
example can be found in marked imbalances in language and
perceptual skills, where deficits in one domain often
co-exist with normal or even superior performance in the
other domain. The current work capitalized on multiple data
analytics including data-driven subtyping and dimensional
approaches to quantify cognitive imbalances in multi-site
datasets of individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum
disorder (ASD) and neurotypical controls, and assessed
structural and functional brain network substrates. Studying
cognitive dimensions as well as multimodal neuroimaging
signatures in 155 ASD and 151 neurotypical individuals, we
observed robust evidence for a structure-function substrate
of cognitive imbalances in ASD. Specifically, ASD presented
with marked imbalances in cognitive profiles relative to
neurotypical controls, characterized by verbal to non-verbal
intelligence discrepancy. Different analytical approaches
including subtyping and dimensional regression methods
converged in showing that these imbalances were reflected in
atypical cortical thickening and functional integration of
language networks, alongside sensory and higher cognitive
networks. Phenotypic findings could be replicated in an
independent sample of 325 ASD and 569 neurotypical controls.
Although verbal and non-verbal intelligence are currently
considered as specifiers unrelated to the categorical
diagnosis of autism, our results show that intelligence
disparities are accentuated in ASD …},
