This study examined 85 parental-reports with 85 self-reports of autistic symptoms with the 84-item Coolidge Autistic Symptom Survey (CASS). The CASS covers all of the diagnostic criteria for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), as no studies to date have compared the self-reports of individuals with autism with parent- or significant-other-reports of those individuals using the complete DSM-5.
The CASS-Parental-Report and CASS-Self-Report exhibited excellent internal reliability (α = 0.97 and 0.96, respectively). There was support for the hypothesis that parental-reports and self-reports would be similar (r = 0.66, p < 0.001).
In conclusion, the CASS should be considered a promising tool for assessing autistic symptoms from both parent- and self-perspectives.
本研究使用84项库利奇自闭症症状调查(CASS),对85份父母报告和85份自闭症症状的自我报告进行了检查。CASS涵盖了《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》(DSM-5)中自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)的所有诊断标准,因为迄今为止尚无研究使用完整的DSM-5,将自闭症患者的自我报告与父母或其他重要他人的报告进行比较。
CASS父母报告和CASS自我报告表现出出色的内部信度(分别为α = 0.97和0.96)。有证据支持父母报告和自我报告会相似的假设(r = 0.66,p < 0.001)。
总之,可以认为CASS是从父母和自我两个角度评估自闭症症状的一种很有前景的工具。
