However, few studies explored whether the established factor model may be suitable for children with ASD and those with developmental delay (DD). Method To locate the potential sources of variations between these two groups, we tested measurement invariance multiple groups factor analysis. Results All subscales achieved the basic level of invariance (configural invariance). The findings suggested similar factor structures across these two groups. However, Withdrawn, Aggressive Behavior, and Sleep Problems did not achieve metric invariance. The findings suggested the relations between items and latent constructs are not similar across groups in these three scales. Conclusions Overall, there are different levels of invariances across subscales of the CBCL1.5–5. The attempt of using the CBCL1.5–5 to separate the profile of children with ASD and children with DD might be helpful, but only on particular aspects.

Development of the Childhood Autism Rating Scale-Brief Form for early detection of autism spectrum disorder in toddlers under three / Yuh-Ming HOU ; Lai-Sang IAO ; Chin-Chin WU in Research in Autism, 126 (August 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 126 (August 2025) . - p.202645 Titre : Development of the Childhood Autism Rating Scale-Brief Form for early detection of autism spectrum disorder in toddlers under three Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Yuh-Ming HOU, Auteur ; Lai-Sang IAO, Auteur ; Chin-Chin WU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.202645 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Childhood Autism Rating Scale  Brief Form  Developmental delays  Sensitivity  Specificity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Early diagnosis and intervention could improve the prognosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study aimed to investigate the validity of the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) in toddlers with ASD under 3 years and develop an efficient abbreviated version for early diagnosis of ASD. Methods Two studies were conducted to evaluate the validity of the CARS for detecting ASD. Study 1 examined the differences between 30 toddlers with ASD and 30 toddlers with developmental delays (DD) and analyzed the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Critical items were selected as the CARS-Brief Form (CARS-BF) and cutoff scores were determined. Study 2 involved 206 toddlers, including 115 with ASD, 34 with mild-ASD, and 57 with DD, to validate the utility of the CARS-BF. Results Study 1 identified 7 items for the CARS-BF and found the optimal cutoff scores to be 12.5 and 13. Study 2 confirmed the optimal cutoff score of 12.5 and 13 for the CARS-BF and demonstrated good accuracy. Besides, the cutoff score of 13 exhibited high sensitivity (88.7 %) and specificity (84.2 %). Conclusion The CARS-BF demonstrated a high level of accuracy. It can be utilized as an effective tool for identifying toddlers with ASD in clinical settings.

Early screening for autism spectrum disorder in young children with developmental problems using the Chinese version of the child behavior checklist / Lai-Sang IAO in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 70 (February 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 70 (February 2020) . - p.101477 Titre : Early screening for autism spectrum disorder in young children with developmental problems using the Chinese version of the child behavior checklist Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lai-Sang IAO, Auteur ; Wen-Han YU, Auteur ; Chin-Chin WU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.101477 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Child behavior checklist/1.5–5 (CBCL/1.5–5)  Emotional and behavioral problems  Sensitivity  Specificity Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in social interaction and communication, as well as repetitive patterns of behaviors and restricted interests. Current evidence suggested that children with ASD exhibited high level of co-occurring behavioral and emotional problems. Thus, this study was aimed to investigate the utility of the Chinese version of the Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 1.5–5 (CBCL/1.5–5) for assessing and screening ASD at an early age in Taiwan. Methods The CBCL/1.5–5 was completed by the caregivers of 134 clinically referred young children aged 18–47 months, including 66 children with ASD and 68 children with developmental delay (DD). Results The findings of this study showed that young children with ASD scored significantly higher than young children with DD for the following scales: Internalizing, Anxious/Depressed, Withdrawn, Attention Problems and Pervasive Developmental Problems (PDP). The results also showed that the Withdrawn scale yielded the best discrimination between the two groups using a T-score of 66 as cutoff. The area under the curve, sensitivity and specificity were .83, .74, and .77 respectively. Conclusion The findings of this study supported that the CBCL/1.5–5, especially the Withdrawn scale of the syndrome scale, could be used to differentiate young children with ASD from those with DD in Taiwan. Replication with a larger sample size is needed to validate the findings.

The study investigated the persuasion skills in Chinese children with high-functioning ASD. Ten school-age Chinese children with ASD were gender, age, and language matched with 10 typically developing (TD) peers. Persuasion was evaluated via a role-play and a direct temptation task in terms of the participants’ persistence and the persuasive strategies used. Results showed no difference in persistence between the two groups. The TD group performed significantly better in their persuasive strategies used. A significant main effect of task was observed where children in both groups performed better in the role-play than the direct temptation task. The present findings provide an account of why children with high-functioning ASD often experience unsuccessful persuasion outcomes in real-life situations.

T-STAT for detecting autism spectrum disorder in toddlers aged 18-24 months / Chin-Chin WU in Autism, 25-4 (May 2021)

Reliable diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder can be made before 24?months of age. However, many children are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at a later age. Delayed diagnosis can occur for children with less severe symptoms and lead to missed opportunities for early intervention. This current study was executed to examine the Taiwanese version of the Screening Tool for Autism in Two-Year-Olds in detecting autism spectrum disorder in toddlers between 18 and 24?months of age. One strength of this study was the inclusion of toddlers with autism spectrum disorder or mild-autism spectrum disorder using the strict and relaxed Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.) criteria for autism spectrum disorder simultaneously. The results of this study supported that diagnosis of toddlers with autism spectrum disorder could be made reliable before 24?months of age. And the Taiwanese version of the Screening Tool for Autism in Two-Year-Olds was a Level 2 autism-specific screening tool for toddlers aged from 18 to 24?months in Taiwan.
