“…The association of higher autistic‐like traits with lower dmPFC activation during spontaneous mentalizing has been reported in previous studies involving typical adults, such as during the uninstructed viewing of social scenes [Wagner et al, ], during no‐task periods (i.e., rest) in an instructed mentalizing task [Spunt et al, ], or while listening to live as compared to recorded speech [Rice and Redcay, ]. At the higher end of the autism spectrum, patients with ASD have repeatedly demonstrated reduced dmPFC activation during tasks related to spontaneous mentalizing, for instance, in response to animated shapes [Castelli et al, ; Kana et al, ; Kana et al, ], task‐irrelevant social content in naturalistic movie clips [Kana et al, ], or uninstructed exposure to face and voice stimuli [Wang et al, ].…”
