The development of an expressive language score for people with autism based on the ADOS-2 was recently reported by Mazurek et al. (2019). The current study examined the construct validity of the ADOS-2 expressive language score (ELS) in a sample of adolescents with fragile X syndrome (n = 45, 10 girls), a neurodevelopmental disorder with high…

Storch, Eric A.; Wood, Jeffrey J.; Ehrenreich-May, Jill; Jones, Anna M.; Park, Jennifer M.; Lewin, Adam B.; Murphy, Tanya K. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2012
The psychometric properties of the Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale (PARS), a clinician-administered measure for assessing severity of anxiety symptoms, were examined in 72 children and adolescents diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The internal consistency of the PARS was 0.59, suggesting that the items were related but not…
