We conducted a data-driven approach to investigate the functional and structural connectivity (FC and SC) within three critical networks in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and typically developing controls (TD). We found significant weaker SC within the default-mode network, e.g. the cingulum bundles, in ASD compared to TD. Furthermore, we found significant positive correlations between the FC of the right salience network and the SC within the DMN and central executive network (CEN). Given the role of salience network in modulating the switch between the DMN and CEN, our results might imply a distinctive FC-SC relationship across different networks in ASD.
