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 this present study supported the hypothesis on all scales except Privacy and Sexualised Behaviour. Overall, compared to TD individuals, HFA individuals engaged in fewer social behaviours, had less sex education and fewer sexual experiences, had more pronounced concerns for the future,...
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 ...
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...
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 (...
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 ...
The Gilliam Autism Rating Scales-3rd Edition (GARS-3) is widely utilized, but evidence regarding its psychometric properties is limited and equivocal. The current study attempted to create a shorter GARS-3, to be utilized for screening purposes, via exploratory factor analysis. Archival data from ...
