Toddlers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were assessed on the Repetitive Behavior Scale-Revised (RBS-R), which we found to have acceptable internal consistency. Stereotypical subscale scores showed a negligible association with cognitive level, but correlated more strongly with adaptive and social indicators. Relative to earlier reported RBS-R scores for older age groups, toddlers' scores trended toward higher stereotyped behavior and lower ritualistic/sameness behavior. Our findings on associations with developmental indicators align with those of researchers who used more resource-intensive repetitive behavior measures. The convergence of these findings with those derived from other measurement methods suggests that the RBS-R, a cost effective parent-report measure, is a viable means of assessing repetitive behavior in toddlers with autism.
对患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的幼儿进行了修订版重复行为量表（RBS-R）评估，我们发现该量表具有可接受的内部一致性。刻板行为分量表得分与认知水平的关联微不足道，但与适应性和社交指标的相关性更强。相对于早期报告的 older age groups 的 RBS-R 得分，幼儿的得分呈现出刻板行为较高、仪式化/相同行为较低的趋势。我们关于与发育指标关联的研究结果与使用资源密集型重复行为测量方法的研究人员的结果一致。这些结果与其他测量方法得出的结果趋同，表明 RBS-R 作为一种成本效益高的家长报告测量方法，是评估自闭症幼儿重复行为的可行手段。 （注：原文中“older age groups”表述不太准确，推测可能是“大龄组儿童之类的意思，但原文表述不清晰，这里按原文翻译）
