Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental
disability with early onset and variable developmental
trajectory. Nowadays a standard pattern of resting state
Functional Connectivity (FC) alteration in ASD is not
defined. We used ICA analysis on ASD and tipically
developing subjects in order to test the influence of
methodological choices on results and to investigate the
differences in FC focusing on the Default Mode Network
(DMN). Our study outlines the presence of both hypo- and
hyper- FC within the DMN in ASD children.
