This study aimed to investigate the differences of white
matter tracts across a wide range of age between autism
spectrum disorder and typically developing participants
using diffusion spectrum imaging. In our findings, with
a large sample size (63 : 63) and a broad range of age
(7-29 years). GFA presented an atypical growth pattern
in ASD compared to TD in several white matter tracts.
The present data suggested that the time trajectory may
differentiate brain maturation in ASD.
