Psychometric evaluation of the Autism Symptom Dimensions Questionnaire
The ASDQ showed evidence of favorable and well-replicated psychometric properties in two samples. Good screening but weak diagnostic efficiency, coupled with good test-retest stability, suggest that optimal clinical use is in screening and in detailed clinical characterization beyond what is offered by current informant-reported measures, with the potential for monitoring response to intervention. Despite relative brevity, the ASDQ provides good coverage of broad and specific aspects of the autism behavioral phenotype, which is consistent with the criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition.
