Abstract
(1) To examine whether dopaminergic functioning, as assessed with SPECT or PET imaging, shows group-level differences between autistic individuals and non-autistic individuals. (2) To investigate whether among autistic individuals, dopamine functioning is related to specific autistic traits (e.g., certain aspects of repetitive behaviour).
