Group differences in tractography. a–c Boxplots by group of intrainsular tract variables. a While FA was lower in individuals with ASD, this was not significantly different compared to that in TD (p = .116). b MD was significantly higher in the ASD group, compared to that in the TD group (*p = .039). c Volume was lower in individuals with ASD, but was not significantly different compared to that in TD (p = .084). d–f Boxplot distributions by group of thalamocortical tract variables. d While FA was lower in individuals with ASD, this was not significantly different compared to that in TD (p = .183). e MD was significantly higher in the ASD group, compared to that in the TD group (*p = .026). f There was no significant group difference in volume.
