“Communities” in Community Engagement: Lessons Learned From Autism Research in South Korea and South Africa / Roy Richard GRINKER in Autism Research, 5-3 (June 2012)

We describe the process used to engage diverse communities in ASD research in two community-based research projects—an epidemiologic investigation of 7- to 12-year olds in South Korea and the Early Autism Project, an ASD detection program for 18- to 36-month-old Zulu-speaking children in South Africa. Despite the differences in wealth between these communities, ASD is underdiagnosed in both settings, and generally not reported in clinical or educational records. Moreover, in both countries, there is low availability of services. In both cases, local knowledge helped researchers to address both ethnographic as well as practical problems. Researchers identified the ways in which these communities generate and negotiate the cultural meanings of developmental disorders. Researchers incorporated that knowledge, as they engaged communities in a research protocol, adapted and translated screening and diagnostic tools, and developed methods for screening, evaluating, and diagnosing children with ASD.

Limited Sensitivity and Specificity of the Spanish Social Communication Questionnaire in a Clinic Sample in Quito, Ecuador / Jonathan SAFER-LICHTENSTEIN in Autism, 30-9 (September 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 30-9 (September 2026) . - p.2427-2431 Titre : Limited Sensitivity and Specificity of the Spanish Social Communication Questionnaire in a Clinic Sample in Quito, Ecuador Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jonathan SAFER-LICHTENSTEIN, Auteur ; Jenniffer VILLARREAL, Auteur ; Lucas FERNANDEZ, Auteur ; Mary TROXEL, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2427-2431 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  Latin America  cross-cultural studies  global context  screening Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Accurate identification of autism is critical for timely intervention, yet validated screening tools remain limited in Latin America. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Spanish-translated Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ) in a clinic-based sample of children in Quito, Ecuador. Caregivers of 94 children aged 4-18 years completed the SCQ Lifetime form as part of a diagnostic evaluation that included cognitive testing, developmental history, and the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition (ADOS-2). Internal consistency of the SCQ was good (Cronbach’s α = .843). However, the SCQ showed poor diagnostic accuracy, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of .60. At the conventional SCQ cut score of 15, sensitivity and specificity were .56 and .60, respectively; using a lower cut score of 11 increased sensitivity (.72) but decreased specificity (.43). These findings indicate limited utility of the SCQ as a screening instrument for autism in this clinical context. Results align with other studies showing variability in SCQ performance across diverse populations and settings, highlighting the need for locally validated screening tools.Lay Abstract Early and accurate identification of autism helps children and families access helpful supports, yet most screening tools have been developed and tested mainly in English-speaking countries, and we know less about how well they work in Latin America. In this study, we examined how well a Spanish translation of the widely used Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ) identified autism in a clinic in Quito, Ecuador. Caregivers completed the questionnaire as part of a full clinical evaluation by trained professionals. We found that the SCQ was not very accurate at distinguishing which children did or did not have autism in this setting, meaning it may not be reliable on its own for screening. These results suggest that screening tools should be carefully tested with local communities before widespread use and highlight the need for tools that better reflect the languages, cultures, and experiences of families.
