Application of Psychometric Methods in Dimensional Analysis and Integration of Assessment Tools in Early Diagnosis for Autism Spectrum Disorder
These findings provide preliminary evidence for a three-dimensional structure of ASD symptoms in very young children and suggest that cognitive development, particularly social-personal skills, is related to early ASD symptomatology. The results have potential implications for refining early diagnostic assessments and guiding clinical practice.
