This study examined the construct validity of the Autism Classification System of Functioning: Social Communication (ACSF). Participants included 145 parents of children with autism (2-19 years). The degree of convergent and discriminant validity between parent reported ACSF and subscales from Social Responsiveness Scale 2nd edition and Behavior Assessment System for Children, 3rd Edition were examined against a priori hypotheses. We examined construct validity in the entire sample as well as in specific age cohorts. Our findings suggest that ACSF can provide a valid classification system of social communication ability in children with autism 2-19 years of age, and its two subscales may be used to examine different aspects of social communication ability.
社交沟通（ACSF）的建构效度。参与者包括 145 名自闭症儿童的家长（2-19 岁）。根据先验假设，检验了家长报告的 ACSF 与社会反应量表第二版和儿童行为评估系统第三版的分量表之间的聚合和区别效度。我们在整个样本以及特定年龄组中检查了结构效度。我们的研究结果表明，ACSF 可以为 2-19 岁自闭症儿童的社交沟通能力提供有效的分类系统，其两个分量表可用于检查社交沟通能力的不同方面。
