Little is known about the across time stability of autistic traits during the transition period from preschool to school age in the general population. The current study compared autistic traits assessed by a mother-reported quantitative measure, the Social Responsiveness Scale, at age 5 and 8 years and examined the intraclass correlation coefficients of scores across the period for 168 Japanese community-based children. Results showed that total and two subdomain-related autistic trait scores remained primarily stable in males and females. This stability was observed for both children with higher and lower autistic traits scores with a possible sex-specific pattern. Our findings suggest that autistic traits in the general population can be reliably assessed using quantitative measures for this age period.
关于普通人群从学前到学龄期过渡期间自闭症特征的跨时间稳定性，人们知之甚少。本研究比较了通过母亲报告的定量测量工具（社会反应量表）在 5 岁和 8 岁评估的自闭症特征，并对 168 名日本基于社区的儿童在该阶段的分数进行了组内相关系数分析。结果表明，在男性和女性中，总分和两个亚领域相关的自闭症特征得分主要保持稳定。这种稳定性在自闭症特征得分较高和较低的儿童中均有观察到，可能存在性别特异性模式。我们的研究结果表明，对于这个年龄段，可以使用定量测量工具可靠地评估普通人群中的自闭症特征。
