Direct linkYu, Lu; Zhu, Xiaoqin; Shek, Daniel T. L.; Zou, Xiao-Bing; Deng, Hong-Zhu; Au Yeung, Peter W. H. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
The Psychoeducational Profile 3rd Edition (PEP-3) is a comprehensive assessment tool designed for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Although its original English version has been validated, few validation studies have been conducted on translated versions including Chinese ones. Based on 554 Chinese children with ASD and 311 typically…

Elias, Rebecca; Conner, Caitlin M.; White, Susan W. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
The transition to postsecondary education is characterized by many changes for adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A data-based understanding of a student's readiness for postsecondary education could help students, and their parents, better prepare for this life transition. The Transition Readiness Scale (TRS) was created to address…

Prior work proposed a shortened version of the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS), a commonly used quantitative measure of social communication traits. We used data from 3031 participants (including 190 ASD cases) from the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program to compare distributional properties and criterion validity of…

Mayhew, Emese; Stuttard, Lucy; Beresford, Bryony – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Valid and reliable tools to measure mental health are a key requirement to developing a robust evidence base on mental health difficulties and autism. There are several reasons why mental health measures developed for the neurotypical population may not be valid and reliable when used with autistic adults. Using data collected from a national…

Cetinoglu, Elif; Aras, Sahbal – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
We assessed the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the autism spectrum quotient (AQ)-adolescent. Three assessment groups of adolescents, aged 11-18, were: 80 with Asperger syndrome/high-functioning autism (AS/HFA), 71 with other psychiatric disorders (PDs; 35 major depression, 18 obsessive-compulsive disorder, 18 social phobia),…

Bang, Peter; Strömberg, Maria; Meera, Shoba S.; Igelström, Kajsa – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
The broad autism phenotype (BAP) is a set of characteristics often observed in typically developing people with a genetic load for autism, such as parents of autistic children. The Broad Autism Phenotypic Questionnaire (BAPQ) is a 36-item questionnaire developed to identify the BAP in first-degree relatives of autistic people. We translated the…

Frazier, Thomas W.; Khaliq, Izma; Scullin, Keeley; Uljarevic, Mirko; Shih, Andy; Karpur, Arun – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
At present, there are no brief, freely-available, informant-report measures that evaluate key challenging behaviors relevant to youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or other developmental disabilities (DD). This paper describes the development, refinement, and initial psychometric evaluation of a new 18-item measure, the Open-Source…

Matt I. Brown; Patrick R. Heck; Christopher F. Chabris – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
The Social Shapes Test (SST) is a measure of social intelligence which does not use human faces or rely on extensive verbal ability. The SST has shown promising validity among adults without autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but it is uncertain whether it is suitable for adults with ASD. We find measurement invariance between adults with (n = 229)…

The early recognition of ASD in adults is challenging, in particular due to the lack of appropriate and robust diagnostic tools. We performed a psychometric validation and diagnostic accuracy study of the French version of the RAADS-R on a sample of 305 adults: 105 with ASD without ID, 99 with psychiatric disorders, and 103 non-psychiatric control…

To examine reliability and validity of the new Social Motor Function Classification System for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (SMFCS-ASD). The SMFCS-ASD reliability was examined on 25 children (62.4 months SD 7.8) with ASD among six physical therapists. The validity study involved 1001 children (57.0 months, SD 9.9) with ASD using the…

Cassidy, Sarah A.; Bradley, Louise; Cogger-Ward, Heather; Shaw, Rebecca; Bowen, Erica; Glod, Magdalena; Baron-Cohen, Simon; Rodgers, Jacqui – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
We explored the appropriateness and measurement properties of a suicidality assessment tool (SBQ-R) developed for the general population, in autistic adults--a high risk group for suicide. 188 autistic adults and 183 general population adults completed the tool online, and a sub-sample (n = 15) were interviewed while completing the tool.…

Kerub, Orly; Haas, Eric J.; Meiri, Gal; Davidovitch, Nadav; Menashe, Idan – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
Systematic screening of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can improve early diagnosis of ASD. We compared the efficacy of two ASD screening methods, the Global Developmental Screening (GDS), and the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers-Revised, with Follow-Up (M-CHAT/F) in 1591 toddlers of ages 18-36 months from 35 government-funded clinics in…

Dai, Yael G.; Porto, Katelynn S.; Skapek, Mary; Barton, Marianne L.; Dumont-Mathieu, Thyde; Fein, Deborah A.; Robins, Diana L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
The Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, Revised, with Follow-Up (M-CHAT-R/F) is the most widely used screener for ASD. Despite the comparable rate of ASD in Black and White children, the M-CHAT-R/F was validated on a primarily White, Non-Hispanic sample. Few studies have assessed whether the screener performs adequately with racial…

Racial disparities exist in autism diagnosis, and yet, the development of most diagnostic tools has not explicitly examined measurement equity between racial and ethnic groups. We examined the validity of the Toddler Autism Symptom Inventory (TASI), a semi-structured interview developed for diagnosis of toddlers, in non-Hispanic Black/African…

Our purpose in this study was to validate the Quality of Life for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder scale. We first conducted an exploratory factor analysis to examine the factor structure. Results suggested that a three-factor model (Interpersonal Relationships, Self-Determination, and Emotional Well-Being) should be retained. Next, we…
