Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 123 (May 2025) . - 202557 Titre : Psychometric properties of autism screening tools and assessment measures used in research involving people aged 50 and above: A systematic review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Charlotte LEEDALE, Auteur ; Daniel THOMPSON, Auteur ; Barry INGHAM, Auteur ; Louise RUTTER, Auteur Article en page(s) : 202557 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Older adults  Review  Screening  Assessment Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background We reviewed evidence for screening and assessment measures used to assess autism spectrum disorder and high autistic traits in people aged 50 years and above. Methods We searched PsychINFO, Medline, CINAHL, Pubmed, and Cochrane Library to identify papers that included autism screening tools and assessment measures in people within this age group. Twenty-eight studies were included in the review. Results Our review identified that the most commonly used questionnaires for assessing autism and high autistic traits in this group were the Autism Quotient, Autism Spectrum Traits and the Social Responsiveness Scale. Most of the studies in the review focused on examining the relationship between an autism diagnosis or high autistic traits and other variables of interest, and did not focus on the psychometric properties of the measures included. Conclusion We identified a number of measures and tools that have been used with people of 50 years and older. However, few reported psychometric properties and there was limited evidence to support the use of any specific tool in this group. We recommend that existing tools should be used cautiously until their psychometric properties are established in older people and that the development of older adult specific measures is warranted.
