There are several different assessment scales they may use. Medical exam. If you haven’t had a physical within the last 6 to 12 months, doctors usually recommend that you have one. This won’t diagnose ADHD, but it will rule out medical conditions such as thyroid or seizure disorders ...
The results of the confirmatory factorial analysis found two high-order factors (Social Behaviour and Numbers/Patterns) and four subscales (Social Skills, Routines, Switching and Imagination). The reliability analysis showed very good internal structure and test鈥搑etest reliability. The AQ-Short ...
When contemplating the alarming depression rates in adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), there is a need to find factors explaining heightened symptoms of depression. Beyond the impact of autism traits, markedly increased levels of alexithymia traits should be considered as a candidate for expl...
EP young adults had significantly higher scores across the BAPQ subscales in comparison with their peers. This suggests that EP participants present with symptoms across the autism phenotype rather than difficulties in specific areas of functioning. At the 11-year follow-up, EP children had increase...
Then, these reformatted MRIs with 3-dimensional scales and coordinates identical to those of the PET images were used as anatomic landmarks for the regions of interest (ROIs) setting. Subsequently, by referring to areas on the MRIs as anatomical landmarks, the ROIs were carefully drawn to ...
were matched on clinician-rated autism symptoms, the girls had significantly higher SRS-2 scores across all subscales (of note, the SRS-2 is sex-normed). This pattern of results is consistent with prior research suggesting that the girls who ultimately meet criteria for autism on “gold-...
Adaptive Behavior Scales. Moderate heterogeneity (I2 > 50%) was observed only for 10% of the associations. The majority of the significant associations (12 of 15) had concordant effect directions in all cohorts (Supplementary Fig.5). We did not identify any significant genotype–phenotype ...
Exclusion criteria for both groups included known motor or sensory deficits and an intelligence quotient (IQ) score ≤ 85 (Wechsler Abbreviated Scales of Intelligence) [36]. Participants with ASD were recruited from the Autism Subject Registry maintained through the University of North Carolina (...
It should be noted that for correlations with FER, some researchers used only subscales specific to social impairment (e.g., the Social and Communication subscales of the ADOS), while other researchers used full-scale scores, which include qualitatively non-social symptoms including repetitive ...
This “scale-free” structure allows to describe dynamics characterized by self-similarity, long memory, and power law distributions, where the pattern observed in a specific scale resembles to the ones found in different temporal scales (Boonstra et al., 2013; Stadnitski, 2012). This ...
