Examining the relationship between measures of autistic traits and neural synchrony during movies in children with and without autism

Highlights • Neural synchrony during movie watching was measured in children with and without ASD.• The ASD group had significantly less neural synchrony across the whole brain.• The ASD group also had significantly less synchrony in the theory of mind network.• Autistic traits did not predict neural synchrony in non-ASD children.• These results suggest children with ASD process movies in a unique way.
