Preschool informants may provide valuable information about symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in young children. We compared the diagnostic accuracy of ratings by preschool staff with those by parents of 3-year-old children using the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment Preschool Forms. The sample consisted of 32 children at familial risk for ASD without diagnosis, 10 children at risk for ASD with diagnosis, and 14 low-risk typically developing controls. Preschool staff ratings were more accurate than parent ratings at differentiating children with and without ASD, and more closely associated with clinician-rated symptoms. These results point to the value of information from preschool informants in early detection and diagnostic assessments.
幼儿报告者可能提供有关自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 幼儿症状的有价值信息。我们使用基于经验的评估学前量表（Achenbach 系统）比较了幼儿工作人员的评分与 3 岁儿童家长的评分的诊断准确性。该样本包括 32 名无 ASD 诊断的 ASD 家族风险儿童、10 名有 ASD 诊断风险的儿童和 14 名低风险的典型发育对照组。幼儿工作人员的评分比家长评分更能准确地区分有和没有 ASD 的儿童，并且与临床医生评定的症状更密切相关。这些结果表明，来自幼儿报告者的信息在早期检测和诊断评估中具有价值。
