![]() An abbreviated version of the SCQ (includes only the 15 items that showed statistically significant differentiation of p Cut-off score of ≥15 indicative of ASD: 71% sensitivity, 79% specificity.Cut-off score of ≥11 indicative of ASD: 91% sensitivity, 35% specificity.≥22 as the cut-off to differentiate autism from no autism: 45% sensitivity, 84% specificityĬhildren in an autism clinic or preschool clinic: (Eaves & Ho, 2006 n = 151, female = 32), age range = 36-82 months, mean age = 61.5 months (9.2)).≥15 as the cut-off to differentiate children with ASDs from children with non‐spectrum diagnoses.Cut off score of ≥15 indicative of ASD: 86% sensitivity and 78% specificityĬhildren with possible ASDs or participants in autism research : (Corsello et al., 2007 n = 590 age range = 2-16 years old).At-risk subsample: ≥22 as the cut-off to differentiate children with childhood autism from those without autism, using clinical diagnosis as the gold standard: 90% sensitivity, 86% specificityĬhildren with special education needs: (Charman et al., 2007 n = 119 age range = 9-13 years, mean age = 10.2 (0.4)).At-risk subsample: ≥15 as the cut-off to differentiate children with ASD from children with non‐spectrum diagnoses: 88% sensitivity, 72% specificity.Preschool children with developmental problems: (Allen et al., 2007 n = 81 aged 24-84 months)Ĭhildren with special education needs and in general population : (Chandler et al., 2007 At-risk subsample: n = 255, mean age 10.3 (0.4) years Low-risk school subsample: n = 411, mean age 12.0 (0.3) General population subsample: n = 247, mean age 11.5 (0.6)) If scores are used to track potential change in severity of autism spectrum disorder symptoms, the Current form, which looks at the child’s last 3 months, should be used.Total scores above the cut-off (score of 15 in the original study by Berument et al., 1999) is indicative of possible ASD and warrants further assessment (e.g., Autism Diagnostic Interview, Revised (ADI-R)). For diagnostic screening purposes, the Lifetime form, which looks at the child’s entire development history, is used.However, there is limited research about the subscales, and they are not available in the AutoScore forms. Subscale scores can be obtained for (1) Reciprocal Social Interaction, (2) Communication, and (3) Restricted, Repetitive, and Stereotyped Patterns of Behavior.If “no” to Item 1, then add Items 8 to 40. If “yes” to Item 1, then add Items 2 to 40. The answer to item 1 dictates which items are to be added to determine the Total Score. ![]() ![]() Items-level scores “0” or “1” are determined by caregivers’ report of “no” or “yes” answers.Developmental history and current behaviors of the child are assessed.SCQ is available in two forms (Lifetime and Current), both of which have 40 yes-no questions.Formerly known as the Autism Screening Questionnaire.
