The participants were 301 children, aged 2–12 years, who had been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) via the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5). Various diagnostic accuracy parameters for the CARS cutoff point were tested against the reference standard of the DSM-5. The Arabic version of the CARS-2 had high reliability, as measured by internal consistency (.79), inter-rater reliability (.65), and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) (.76). Construct validity was assessed through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The results indicated that a three-factor solution was appropriate, with the first (Communications) and third (Senses and Physical) factors reflecting DSM-5 symptom domains. The CFA proved that the final model, derived from the EFA, yielded a 14-item, three-factor model that adequately fit the data. These findings support the continued relevance of the CARS-2 in ASD assessment.
