This commentary is offered in response to Kanne and Bishop (2020) who urge caution in adopting new devices and processes for ASD assessment and advocate that that comprehensive, expert-driven, diagnostic models for ASD remain essential to maintain quality standards. While we agree that there is a critical shortage in current care, we propose that developing suites of tools and innovative approaches for screening, risk-classification, formal diagnosis, and rich assessment of abilities and challenges may be of great value to families and necessary to improve current systems of care. As well, the evaluation of 'assessment quality' should take into consideration both content and process, with a focus on achieving meaningful outcomes and optimizing family experience.
这篇评论是对 Kanne 和 Bishop（2020 年）的回应，他们敦促在采用新的 ASD 评估设备和流程时要谨慎，并主张全面、专家驱动的 ASD 诊断模型仍然是保持质量标准的关键。虽然我们同意当前护理存在严重短缺，但我们认为开发一系列用于筛查、风险分类、正式诊断以及对能力和挑战进行深入评估的工具和创新方法可能对家庭非常有价值，并且对于改善当前的护理系统是必要的。此外，“评估质量”的评估应同时考虑内容和过程，重点是实现有意义的结果并优化家庭体验。
