Detecting, Studying, and Treating Autism Early: The One-Year Well-Baby Check-Up Approach Objectives To determine the feasibility of implementing a broadband screen at the 1-year check-up to detect cases of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), langu... Karen Pierce PhD a b,Cindy Carter PhD a b...
ROC curves were used to determine cut-off scores for the A and the B scale, using an ASD diagnosis made by an independent clinician as the criterion. Mean administration time was 42 min. Internal consistency of the A scale (α = 0.92) and the B scale (α = 0.85) were good. Inter-...
