Based on prior literature that males and females with ASC display different cognitive and associated neural characteristics, analyses were stratified by sex. Three strategies were applied to test for endophenotypes at the level of neural activation: (1) identifying and locating conjunctions of ASC\u2013control and sibling\u2013control differences; (2) examining whether the sibling group is comparable to the ASC or intermediate between the ASC and control groups; and (3) examining spatial overlaps between ASC\u2013control and sibling\u2013control differences across multiple thresholds.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291714000233_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results.<\/jats:title><jats:p>Impaired behavioural performance on the Eyes task was observed in males with ASC compared to controls, but only at trend level in females; and no difference in performance was identified between sibling and same-sex control groups in both sexes.
