ASPERGER SYNDROME DIAGNOSTIC SCALE
(ASDS)

The Asperger Syndrome Diagnostic Scale (ASDS) was designed to identify Asperger Syndrome in children ages 5 through 18. It provides an AS Quotient that quickly allows you to determine whether a child or adolescent is likely to have Asperger Syndrome. The 50 items that constitute the ASDS were drawn from five specific areas of behavior: cognitive, maladaptive, language, social, and sensorimotor.
The ASDS was normed on 115 persons with asperger Syndrome, autism, learning disabilities, behavior disorders, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder from across the United States. The sample ranged in age from 5 through 18. The ASDS meets reliability and validity criteria established by the professional assessment community.
