In the present study, we investigated the functional connectivity (FC) and structural connectivity (SC) within default mode network (DMN) simultaneously in normal adolescents and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We found that all the indices tended to be lower in adolescents with ASD compared to TD, especially in the SC of the right cingulum. Furthermore, the FC-SC correlation patterns showed opposite directions on both sides and were significantly different on the right side between the two groups. This might imply the abnormal DMN development in individuals with ASD during their adolescence.
