Flowchart of the study design. ADOS composite scores were used as a reference to guide a two-way fALFF-GM fusion for (a, orange) the whole ASD group and then the ASD subgroups [(b, blue) Asperger’s, (c, green) PDD-NOS and (d, red) Autistic] to identify ASD and subtype-related multimodal brain networks associated with ADOS. Then, the identified brain maps were back-reconstructed (BR) on the same control group (TDC). Finally, the identified multimodal patterns were used to train symptom prediction models in each subtype using the ABIDE II data and then cross-validated using the ABIDE I data
