Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition whose current psychiatric diagnostic process is subjective and behavior-based. In contrast, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can objectively measure brain activity and is useful for identifying brain disorders. However, the...
