OBJECTIVE
There is limited evidence about the cross-cultural validity of autistic symptoms in school-aged children in Brazil. We used data from a large school survey to evaluate the factor structure of autism symptoms in community-dwelling children and adolescents.
METHODS
We translated the Childhood Autism Spectrum Test to Brazilian Portuguese and performed factor analyses to investigate the factor structure of parent-reported autistic symptoms in a large sample (n=8,571) of children/adolescents from a school survey in the metropolitan area of São Paulo.
RESULTS
Autistic symptoms were best conceptualized under a correlated-factors model with two factors: one predominantly characterized by social-communication symptoms and the other by symptoms of inflexible/restricted language, behaviors, and interests.
CONCLUSIONS
These findings provide evidence that the structure of autistic symptoms in Brazil is similar to that described in other countries, indicating the cross-cultural validity of autism in Brazil.
目的
关于巴西学龄儿童自闭症症状的跨文化效度的证据有限。我们使用来自大型学校调查的数据，评估了社区居住的儿童和青少年自闭症症状的因子结构。
方法
我们将儿童自闭症谱系测试（Childhood Autism Spectrum Test）翻译为巴西葡萄牙语，并进行因子分析，以调查来自圣保罗大都市区学校调查的大量儿童/青少年（n=8,571）中家长报告的自闭症症状的因子结构。
结果
自闭症症状最好用两个因素的相关因素模型来概念化：一个主要以社会交往症状为特征，另一个以刻板/受限的语言、行为和兴趣症状为特征。
结论
这些发现提供了证据，表明巴西自闭症症状的结构与其他国家描述的相似，表明巴西自闭症具有跨文化的有效性。
