This study aimed to review the psychometric properties of broadband instruments used to assess MH problems among autistic people. In accordance with the PRISMA guidelines (PROSPERO: CRD42022316571) we searched the APA PsycINFO via Ovid, Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase and the Web of Science via Clarivate databases from 1980 to March 2022, with an updated search in January 2024, to identify very recent empirical studies. Independent reviewers evaluated the titles and abstracts of the retrieved records (n = 11,577) and full-text articles (n = 1000). Data were extracted from eligible studies, and the quality of the included papers was appraised. In all, 164empirical articles reporting on 35 instruments were included. The review showed variable evidence of reliability and validity of the various instruments. Among the instruments reported in more than one study, the Aberrant Behavior Checklist had consistently good or excellent psychometric evidence. The reliability and validity of other instruments, including: the Developmental Behavior Checklist, Emotion Dysregulation Inventory, Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory, Autism Spectrum Disorder-Comorbid for Children Scale, and Psychopathology in Autism Checklist, were less documented. There is a need for a greater evidence-base for MH assessment tools for autistic people.

Assessment of anxiety and behavior disorders among autistic children and youths with intellectual and developmental disabilities / Einar Røshol HEIERVANG ; Børge MATHIASSEN ; Michael G. AMAN ; Sabine KAISER ; Sissel Berge HELVERSCHOU in Research in Autism, 121-122 (March-April 2025)

One concern is the risk of downplaying the complex presentation of mental health (MH) symptoms in individuals who are neurodiverse. In this study, we sought to explore MH disorder construct convergence across broad-band instruments developed for people with autism (ASD) or developmental disabilities (IDDs) (i.e., ASD/IDD instruments) and a non-ASD/IDD instrument based on established diagnostic taxonomy. Methods In total, 121 children with IDDs (full scale IQ M =80.8, SD=20.6), including those with ASD, participated. The conceptual overlap between emotional and behavioral subscales from the Developmental Behavior Checklist (DBC), Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC), and Psychopathology in Autism Checklist (PAC), on the one hand and emotional and behavioral diagnoses derived from the Developmental and Well-Being Assessment interview (DAWBA), on the other hand, was examined. Results Subscales from the DBC, ABC, and PAC showed adequate and good correspondence with anxiety disorders and oppositional conduct disorder diagnoses, respectively, derived from the DAWBA. There were meaningful correlations between lower adaptive communication skills/IQ and ASD/IDD instrument subscales reflecting stereotyped and repetitive motor movements, pica, and self-injurious behavior. Conclusion The ASD/IDD tools showed acceptable MH disorder construct convergence with a non-ASD/IDD diagnostic interview. As they perform well, instruments developed for people with ASD/IDD should be given priority in initial MH assessments.

The psychometric properties of the Norwegian version of the social responsiveness scale in a neuropediatric sample / Sabine KAISER in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 95 (July 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 95 (July 2022) . - 101973 Titre : The psychometric properties of the Norwegian version of the social responsiveness scale in a neuropediatric sample Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sabine KAISER, Auteur ; Kjersti Åby BERGQUIST, Auteur ; Marianne BERG HALVORSEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : 101973 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Assessment  Autism spectrum disorder  Neurodevelopmental disorder  Psychometrics  Social responsiveness scale Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background The current study is an examination of the psychometric properties of the Norwegian Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS), a measure of deficits in social behavior, in a neuropediatric outpatient sample of children and adolescents with neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders. Method The internal consistency of the SRS, the convergent validity of the SRS with the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale-II (VABS-II), the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), and the Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC) were examined, in addition to four different factor models of the SRS (i.e., a one-factor, the original five-factor, a second-order five-factor model, and a 16-item one-factor model) using confirmatory factor analyses. Results There was satisfactory internal consistency on all subscales, except for the Social Awareness subscale. The SRS showed a somewhat meaningful overlap with parts of the related scales on the VABS-II, the SDQ, and the ABC. Model fit indices were mixed for evaluating the four different factor models. Overall, however, the model fit was rather poor. Conclusions The original SRS subscales showed adequate internal consistency and satisfactory convergent validity on some of the subscales. The construct validity in terms of factor structure was not acceptable. Future research should examine the psychometric properties of an improved version of the SRS, especially in terms of improving the scale?s construct validity.
