The Autism Classification System of Functioning: Social Communication (ACSF) describes social communication functioning levels. First developed for preschoolers with ASD, this study tests an expanded age range (2-to-18 years). The ACFS rates the child's typical and best (i.e., capacity) performance. Qualitative methods tested parent and clinician perspectives of the ACSF age expansion using content analysis. The ACSF was used twice by parents and professionals for the same child/youth. Reliabilities were assessed using weighted kappa. Content validity supported the ACSF's applicability, clarity, and usability. The ACSF adaptations did not change its original construct. Reliability were calculated from 90 parent and professional Time-1 and Time-2 ratings for children/youth (2.1-15.6 years). Results showed good-to-very good intra-rater agreement (typical) and good inter-rater agreement (capacity).
社交沟通（ACSF）描述了社交沟通功能水平。最初是为自闭症谱系障碍的学龄前儿童开发的，本研究测试了扩展的年龄范围（2 至 18 岁）。ACFS 评估儿童的典型和最佳（即能力）表现。使用内容分析法测试了家长和临床医生对 ACSF 年龄扩展的看法。ACSF 由家长和专业人士两次用于同一儿童/青少年。使用加权 kapp 值评估可靠性。内容效度支持 ACSF 的适用性、清晰度和可用性。ACSF 的适应性并没有改变其原始结构。对 90 名儿童/青少年的家长和专业人士在时间 1 和时间 2 的评分（2.1-15.6 岁）进行了可靠性计算。结果表明，典型情况下，内部评估者之间的一致性（典型表现）和能力表现的评估者之间的一致性均为良好至非常好。
