First, we define the relative intimacy of individual m in reference to all friends of individual i as (w_{i,m} = I_{i,m}/sum_{m=1}^{N}I_{i,m}).
They could view one another's profiles and, as the site spread to other campuses, those at other schools if they were accepted as a "friend". Think of individual college directories connected by -- at most -- six degrees of separation.

The paired control will be chosen among the friends of the individual with ASD.
The threshold is modelled as a simple linear function: t i = t + shared best friends i ts, where t is the population baseline threshold (for individuals with 0 shared best friends), ts models the regression of the threshold on the number of shared best friends, and shared best friends i is the number of shared best friends of the individual i [ 41].
