Nonetheless, they are limited by problems with sensitivity and reliability. We developed an index of vocational and educational outcomes that captures the full range of activities experienced by adults with ASD, and that can be reliably coded across studies using specific decision rules. To develop this index, we used employment, vocational, and educational data collected from nearly 350 adults with ASD at 6 times over 12 years, as part of a larger longitudinal study. The resulting index consists of 11 categories coded on a 9-point scale, ranging from competitive employment and/or postsecondary educational program to no vocational/educational activities.

Self-Reported Autism Symptoms in Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders / Somer L. BISHOP in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 42-11 (November 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 42-11 (November 2012) . - p.2354-2363 Titre : Self-Reported Autism Symptoms in Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Somer L. BISHOP, Auteur ; Marsha Mailick SELTZER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2354-2363 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum quotient  Adults  Assessment  Self-report Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Scores on the autism spectrum quotient (AQ) were examined in 65 adults with ASD. Maternal reports of symptoms were collected simultaneously using the autism diagnostic interview-revised (ADI-R) and the Vineland Screener. A slightly revised AQ administration procedure was used to accommodate adults with below average IQ. AQ scores were lower than in the original validation study, with only 11 adults (17%) scoring above the proposed diagnostic cut-off and 24 (27%) exceeding the screening cut-off. Adults with higher IQs endorsed more symptoms than those with below average intelligence, but even when analyses were restricted to the 39 adults with at least average IQ, only 44% met the screening cut-off. AQ scores were not significantly correlated with ADI-R or Vineland scores.
