Spanish Validation of the Autism Spectrum Quotient for Children (AQ-Child-SV).
Purpose: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a lifelong, heterogeneous neurodevelopmental condition characterized by difficulties in social communication and stereotyped patterns of behaviors and interests. The prevalence of ASD has increased in the last decades, and research has widened its study to the Broader Autism Phenotype (BAP). Therefore, it is important to develop effective screening tools to detect ASD and BAP in the general population. The Autism Spectrum Quotient, Children´s version (AQ-Child) is a 50-item parent-report questionnaire developed to assess autistic traits in children aged 4-11 years. The aim of this study was to translate and culturally adapt the AQ-Child to Spanish as part of a school-based screening program in Salamanca, Castile and León, Spain.
Methods: The AQ-Child was translated, pilot-tested, and administered online through the Qualtrics platform of the University of Salamanca to a school population sample (n = 602).
Results: A total of 45 cases scored at or above the established cut-off point of 76 points on the Spanish version of the AQ-Child (AQ-Child-SV) and 18 scored between 70 and 75 points. The results showed a significant difference in AQ-Child-SV scores between children who received an ASD diagnosis and children with no suspicion of ASD in the general population. For the AQ-Child-SV sensitivity was 0.83 and the specificity was 0.96. Positive and negative predictive values were 0.55 and 0.99 respectively.
Conclusion: The data from this study indicates that the Spanish version of the AQ-Child could be a reliable instrument for screening autism spectrum disorder and the BAP in school-age children.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders seeks to advance theoretical and applied research as well as examine and evaluate clinical diagnoses and treatments for autism and related disabilities. JADD encourages research submissions on the causes of ASDs and related disorders, including genetic, immunological, and environmental factors; diagnosis and assessment tools (e.g., for early detection as well as behavioral and communications characteristics); and prevention and treatment options. Sample topics include: Social responsiveness in young children with autism Advances in diagnosing and reporting autism Omega-3 fatty acids to treat autism symptoms Parental and child adherence to behavioral and medical treatments for autism Increasing independent task completion by students with autism spectrum disorder Does laughter differ in children with autism? Predicting ASD diagnosis and social impairment in younger siblings of children with autism The effects of psychotropic and nonpsychotropic medication with adolescents and adults with ASD Increasing independence for individuals with ASDs Group interventions to promote social skills in school-aged children with ASDs Standard diagnostic measures for ASDs Substance abuse in adults with autism Differentiating between ADHD and autism symptoms Social competence and social skills training and interventions for children with ASDs Therapeutic horseback riding and social functioning in children with autism Authors and readers of the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders include sch olars, researchers, professionals, policy makers, and graduate students from a broad range of cross-disciplines, including developmental, clinical child, and school psychology; pediatrics; psychiatry; education; social work and counseling; speech, communication, and physical therapy; medicine and neuroscience; and public health.
