approached significancep = .05
While lower FA in the right ILF showed a slight association with the presence of more ASD characteristics (SRS total score: partial r (29) = − 0.27, p = .15; SRS Social Communication and Interaction scale: partial r (29) = − 0.26, p = .17; SRS RRBI scale: partial r (29) = − 0.18, p = .34), none of these correlations were significant, and the association only approached significance for the RBS-R questionnaire ( partial r (29) = − 0.37, p = .05).
