What does the article mean in plain English?

The study’s most provocative finding was that one particular compound, called 11,12-diHETrE, seemed to have the strongest connection to autism symptoms. Higher levels of this compound were linked to more difficulties with social interaction and communication, which are hallmark features of autism. Conversely, lower levels of another compound, 8,9-diHETrE, were associated with more repetitive and restrictive behaviors, another key characteristic of ASD.
https://studyfinds.org/new-clue-in-auti ... ld-be-key/The study means the levels of those two diHETrEs might be relevant to understanding a cause of some symptoms in at least some autistic people. It's also possible those levels being off might be because one has autism, correlation doesn't mean one factor is the cause of the other.
The link I've included explains the study a bit more clearly than the MSN article. Scroll down to
