Based on parent and teacher ratings of 2,560 children from across the U.S. (640 ages 2–5 years; 1,920 ages 6–18 years); also based on a clinical sample of over 1,200 subjects with ASD, ADHD, mood and anxiety disorders, and disruptive behavior disorders
Benefit
Evaluates the entire autism spectrum, increasing diagnostic accuracy
This norm-referenced assessment identifies symptoms and behaviors associated with the full range of autism spectrum disorders. Available in two forms—one for preschoolers, the other for elementary and high school students—the ASRS includes the following treatment scales: Peer Socialization; Adult Socialization; Social/Emotional Reciprocity; Atypical Language; Stereotypy; Behavioral Rigidity; Sensory Sensitivity; Attention/Self-Regulation (ages 6–18 years only); and Attention (ages 2–5 years only).
Using a 5-point Likert response scale, parents and teachers indicate how often they observe specific behaviors in the child being evaluated. A 15-item Short Form offers a convenient alternative for screening large groups or for monitoring treatment.
The ASRS can guide diagnostic decisions, treatment planning, and response to intervention.
The ASRS software required to score the ASRS forms has been discontinued by the publisher. Further details about the alternative scoring method can be found in the ASRS Technical Report.
