Previous functional connectivity studies have found both hypo‐ and hyper‐connectivity in brains of individuals having autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Here we studied abnormalities in functional brain subnetworks in high‐functioning individuals with ASD during free viewing of a movie containing socia...
