Although, the operationalization of the autism spectrum disorder has been updated around two domains, the broad autism phenotype (BAP) one has not. Additionally, the items of the three common BAP measures, the Broad Autism Phenotype Questionnaire (BAPQ), the Autism Quotient, and the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS), remain organized around a non-consensual number of factors. We explored whether the items of these measures matched with the two-domain operationalization through a parallel analysis, which has suggested two main components, and two expert judgments which have assessed item wording, relevance, and construct representativeness. A remaining pool of 48 BAP-relevant items suggested a possible under-representation of two subdomains. Despite the relevance of all the BAPQ items, only the SRS ones tapped in all subdomains.
虽然自闭症谱系障碍的操作定义已经在两个领域进行了更新，但广泛自闭症表型（BAP）尚未更新。此外，三个常见 BAP 测量工具的项目，即广泛自闭症表型问卷（BAPQ）、自闭症商数和社会反应量表（SRS），仍然围绕着非共识的因素进行组织。我们通过平行分析探讨了这些测量工具的项目是否与双领域操作定义相匹配，平行分析表明有两个主要成分，以及两项专家判断，评估了项目措辞、相关性和结构代表性。剩余的 48 个与 BAP 相关的项目表明可能存在两个子领域的代表性不足。尽管 BAPQ 项目的相关性很高，但只有 SRS 项目涉及所有子领域。
