The goal of this preliminary investigation was to compare demographic and clinical characteristics in a sample of children with likely Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder (SCD) (N = 117) to those in children with possible (N = 118) and some (N = 126) SCD traits, other developmental delay (DD) (N = 91) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (N = 642). We used data from the Study to Explore Early Development (SEED), a multi-site case-control study. Items reflecting SCD DSM-5 criteria were selected from an autism diagnostic measure, with SCD categories identified by creating quartiles. Our results suggest that SCD may fall along a continuum involving elevated deficits (in comparison to DD with no SCD) in social communication and restricted and repetitive behavior that do not reach the clinical threshold for ASD.
本初步研究旨在比较样本中患有可能的社交（语用）沟通障碍（SCD）的儿童（N=117）与患有某些（N=126）SCD 特征、其他发育迟缓（DD）（N=91）和自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）（N=642）儿童的人口统计学和临床特征。我们使用了来自探索早期发展研究（SEED）的多地点病例对照研究的数据。从自闭症诊断测量中选择反映 SCD DSM-5 标准的项目，并通过创建四分位数来确定 SCD 类别。我们的研究结果表明，SCD 可能沿着一个连续体存在，涉及社交沟通和受限及重复行为方面的缺陷（与无 SCD 的 DD 相比），这些缺陷未达到 ASD 的临床阈值。
