The functional brain organization of an individual allows prediction of measures of social abilities trans-diagnostically in autism and attention/deficit and hyperactivity disorder

Autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are associated with complex changes as revealed by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). To date, neuroimaging-based models are not able to characterize individuals with sufficient sensitivity and specificity. Further, although evidence demonstrates occurrence of ADHD traits in individuals with autism, and autism traits in individuals with ADHD, the neurofunctional basis of the overlap is undefined.
