Although motor problems are highly prevalent in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), they remain underdiagnosed. Questionnaire-based screening for motor problems could optimize current clinical practice. This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the developmental coordination disorder questionnaire (DCDQ) to screen for co-occurring motor problems in individuals with ASD (n = 115; aged 5-15 years). Results indicated an excellent internal consistency; concurrent and discriminant validity with the Movement Assessment Battery for Children, second edition. Sensitivity was excellent, but specificity was lower. The positive and negative predictive values indicate that the DCDQ can be used to detect motor problems in children with ASD and can exclude the presence of developmental coordination disorder.
虽然自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童普遍存在运动问题，但这些问题仍未得到充分诊断。基于问卷的运动问题筛查可以优化当前的临床实践。本研究旨在检验发展性协调障碍问卷（DCDQ）筛查 ASD 个体共患运动问题的心理测量特性（n=115；年龄 5-15 岁）。结果表明，该问卷具有极好的内部一致性；与儿童运动评估成套测验第二版（Movement Assessment Battery for Children, second edition）具有同时性和判别效度。敏感性极佳，但特异性较低。阳性和阴性预测值表明，DCDQ 可用于检测 ASD 儿童的运动问题，并可排除发育性协调障碍的存在。
