Cederlund, Mats – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
One-hundred twenty-four pre-school children referred for assessment to a neuropsychiatric team were included in this study of the Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC), ESSENCE-Q, and Conners Abbreviated Parent-Teacher Rating Scale (CAPRS). All three questionnaires showed a good correlation towards severity of symptoms in ASD. The ABC questionnaire was,…

Roman-Urrestarazu, Andres; Yáñez, Carolina; López-Garí, Claudia; Elgueta, Constanza; Allison, Carrie; Brayne, Carol; Troncoso, Mónica; Baron-Cohen, Simon – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) can be an extended procedure since ASC tend to both vary greatly across individual symptoms and diagnostic pathways with serious challenges to opportune access and diagnosis in low resource settings. We adapted the Q-CHAT-25 for use in a routine health check-ups programme at Chilean primary health…

Barnard-Brak, Lucy; Richman, David M.; Chesnut, Steven Randall; Little, Todd D. – School Psychology Quarterly, 2016
In analyzing data from the National Database for Autism Research, we utilized Mokken scaling techniques as a means of creating a more effective and efficient screening procedure for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) via the Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ). With a sample of 1,040, approximately 80% (n = 827) of the sample were males while…

Vanvuchelen, Marleen; Van Schuerbeeck, Lise; Braeken, Marijke A. K. A. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2017
Children with autism spectrum disorders are at risk for motor problems. However, this area is often overlooked in the developmental evaluation in autism diagnostic clinics. An alternative can be to identify children who should receive intensive motor assessment by using a parent-based screener. The aim of this study was to examine whether the Ages…

Cederberg, Charles D.; Gann, Lianne C.; Foley-Nicpon, Megan; Sussman, Zachary – Gifted Child Quarterly, 2018
High-ability youth diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) historically have been neglected within samples validating ASD screening measures, and consensus for what constitutes high ability has not been established. The Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ) and Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) are two common screening tools for ASD…

Eapen, Valsamma; Crncec, Rudi; Woolfenden, Susan; Blackmore, Roger – Journal of Mental Health Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2014
Early detection of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is a prerequisite for early intervention. Questionnaires may offer a cost-effective alternative to clinician-led screening in identifying toddlers and preschoolers in primary-care settings requiring specialized ASD assessment. Parents of 97 children aged 16-60 months attending childcare centers…

Crane, Laura; Chester, James W; Goddard, Lorna; Henry, Lucy A; Hill, Elisabeth – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2016
A sample of 1047 parents completed an online survey about their experiences and opinions regarding the process of attaining a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder for their children. The results revealed that parents usually waited a year from when they first had concerns about their child's development before they sought professional help. On…

MacMullin, Jennifer A.; Lunsky, Yona; Weiss, Jonathan A. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2016
Although electronic technology currently plays an integral role for most youth, there are growing concerns of its excessive and compulsive use. This study documents patterns and impact of electronics use in individuals with autism spectrum disorder compared to typically developing peers. Participants included 172 parents of typically developing…

Taylor, Cora M.; Vehorn, Alison; Noble, Hylan; Weitlauf, Amy S.; Warren, Zachary E. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2014
The goal of the current study was to develop and pilot the utility of two simple internal response bias metrics, over-reporting and under-reporting, in terms of additive clinical value within common screening practices for early detection of autism spectrum disorder risk. Participants were caregivers and children under 36 months of age (n = 145)…

Swanson, Amy R.; Warren, Zachary E.; Stone, Wendy L.; Vehorn, Alison C.; Dohrmann, Elizabeth; Humberd, Quentin – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2014
The increased prevalence of autism spectrum disorder and documented benefits of early intensive intervention have created a need for flexible systems for determining eligibility for autism-specific services. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a training program designed to enhance autism spectrum disorder identification and assessment…

Corsello, Christina M.; Akshoomoff, Natacha; Stahmer, Aubyn C. – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2013
Background: Longitudinal research studies have demonstrated that experienced clinicians using standardized assessment measures can make a reliable diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) in children under age 3. Limited data are available regarding the sensitivity and specificity of these measures in community settings. The aims of this…

Schanding, G. Thomas, Jr.; Nowell, Kerri P.; Goin-Kochel, Robin P. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2012
Limited research exists regarding the role of teachers in screening for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The current study examined the use of the "Social Communication Questionnaire" (SCQ) and "Social Responsiveness Scale" (SRS) as completed by parents and teachers about school-age children from the Simons Simplex Collection. Using the…

Studies have shown an increased head circumference and the absence of the head tilt reflex as possible risk factors for autism spectrum disorder, allowing for early detection at 12 months in typically developing population of infants. Our aim was to develop a screening tool to identify infants prior to 12 months at risk for autism spectrum…
