•Continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) aftereffects are different in a large sample of individuals with ASD compared to neurotypical controls.•T15 cTBS aftereffect allows to distinguish individuals with ASD diagnosis from neurotypical controls.•Diagnostic utility of cTBS aftereffects for ASD is...
