Unusual reactions to sensory input became part of the diagnostic criteria for autism spectrum disorder in the DSM-5. Measures accurately assessing these symptoms are important for clinical decisions. This study examined the reliability and validity of the Sensory Behavior Questionnaire, a parent-report scale designed to assess frequency and impact of sensory behaviors in autistic children. The scale demonstrated excellent internal consistency and concurrent validity, and was a better predictor of autistic symptoms than the Short Sensory Profile within a group of 66 school-age autistic children. The scale also successfully discriminated between autistic and typical children of similar age and ability. The Sensory Behavior Questionnaire has potential as a measure of sensory behaviors in children on the autism spectrum.
对感觉输入的异常反应成为了《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第五版（DSM - 5）中自闭症谱系障碍诊断标准的一部分。准确评估这些症状的测量方法对于临床决策很重要。本研究考察了感觉行为问卷的信效度，这是一种家长报告量表，旨在评估自闭症儿童感觉行为的频率和影响。在一组66名学龄期自闭症儿童中，该量表表现出了出色的内部一致性和同时效度，并且比简短感觉概况量表能更好地预测自闭症症状。该量表还成功地区分了年龄和能力相似的自闭症儿童与正常儿童。感觉行为问卷有潜力作为评估自闭症谱系儿童感觉行为的一种测量工具。
