The paper identifies 253 autism-associated genes using rare variation from 62,429 individuals and finds pleiotropy across physiological systems and developmental disorders.

The paper introduces a novel metric, estimated axonal latency, to measure neuronal processing speed in autism spectrum disorder using MRI and EEG data.

This study identifies widespread associations between behavioral metrics and brain microstructure in ASD, suggesting age-related changes may drive different behavioral subtypes.

This study uses MRI metrics to identify microstructural differences in myelin and axons between ASD and neurotypical adolescents, finding increased extracellular water and decreased g-ratio and conduction velocity.
