In this article, a variety of neuroimaging methods that have been applied to investigate autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) will be covered, and a review of the latest findings for each will be summarized. Studies that attempt to map identified brain anomalies in individuals with ASD are mapped onto the symptoms, traits, and severity of the disorder.
