Koehler, Jana Christina; Georgescu, Alexandra Livia; Weiske, Johanna; Spangemacher, Moritz; Burghof, Lana; Falkai, Peter; Koutsouleris, Nikolaos; Tschacher, Wolfgang; Vogeley, Kai; Falter-Wagner, Christine M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Reliably diagnosing autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in adulthood poses a challenge to clinicians due to the absence of specific diagnostic markers. This study investigated the potential of interpersonal synchrony (IPS), which has been found to be reduced in ASD, to augment the diagnostic process. IPS was objectively assessed in videos…

Di Rezze, Briano; Gentles, Stephen James; Hidecker, Mary Jo Cooley; Zwaigenbaum, Lonnie; Rosenbaum, Peter; Duku, Eric; Georgiades, Stelios; Roncadin, Caroline; Fang, Hanna; Tajik-Parvinchi, Diana; Viveiros, Helena – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
The Autism Classification System of Functioning: Social Communication (ACSF) describes social communication functioning levels. First developed for preschoolers with ASD, this study tests an expanded age range (2-to-18 years). The ACFS rates the child's typical and best (i.e., capacity) performance. Qualitative methods tested parent and clinician…

Brief Report: Telephone Administration of the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised--Reliability and Suitability for Use in Research
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Ward-King, Jessica; Cohen, Ira L.; Penning, Henderika; Holden, Jeanette J. A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2010
The Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised is one of the "gold standard" diagnostic tools for autism spectrum disorders. It is traditionally administered face-to-face. Cost and geographical concerns constrain the employment of the ADI-R for large-scale research projects. The telephone interview is a reasonable alternative, but has not yet been…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Bryson, Susan E.; Zwaigenbaum, Lonnie; Mcdermott, Catherine; Rombough, Vicki; Brian, Jessica – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2008
The Autism Observation Scale for Infants (AOSI) was developed to detect and monitor early signs of autism as they emerge in high-risk infants (all with an older sibling with an autistic spectrum disorder). Here we describe the scale and its development, and provide preliminary data on its reliability. Inter-rater reliability both for total scores…

Starr, Elizabeth M.; Berument, Sibel Kazak; Tomlins, Megan; Papanikolaou, Katerina; Rutter, Michael – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2005
As an off-shoot of a study examining the reliability and validity of an adapted version of the Pre-Linguistic Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (A-PL-ADOS), 13 individuals with Down syndrome with IQs ranging between 24 and 48 were administered the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) and the A-PL-ADOS, which are well-validated…
