This study tested a new measure, the Autism Impact Measure (AIM), in a large group of children with autism. The results showed that the AIM appears to be a valid and accurate tool for measuring autism symptoms. The AIM may be a helpful tool for researchers and clinicians interested in ...

The measure includes 41 parent-rated items, each requiring two corresponding 5-point ratings (frequency and impact). This two-pronged approach has the potential to inform both treatment outcome research and clinical practice. Objectives: The purpose of the current study was to examine the ...
self-determination, interpersonal relations, social inclusion, rights, and emotional, physical, and material well-being [98]. The widely utilised WHO measure of quality of life has now been adapted for use with autistic people, following the addition of nine autism-specific items (ASQoL) [99]....
46 In our analysis of effect size, we stratified the studies based on the task that was used to measure the construct under study. This ensured that only studies using the same methods were compared. However, authors sometimes make minor alterations to task procedures to explore specific ...
Further, the simple sum score of Q-CHAT-10-O items may be as easy as the original scoring algorithm of Q-CHAT-10, and results in a measure with greater internal consistency. This study represents one of the largest groups of toddlers with autism diagnostic testing before age two from a ...
Methods based on static functional connectivity were again strongly correlated with each other; however, lagged-based functional connectivity was not strongly correlated with the other measures suggesting it may measure different aspects of brain function in individuals with autism. However, the correlation...
Qualitative Measure In order to further explore the experience of having an autistic sibling, participants with an autistic sibling only were further asked a series of free-text questions based on their sibling experience, exploring the likes of how their sibling had impacted their life, what their...
it is largely a language-mediated measure. Notably, the norming sample used in the development of the ADOS-2 was predominantly male [78], leaving open the possibility that clinically meaningful sex differences in the behavioral presentation of autistic individuals went undetected or were judged unimpo...
