“…Asperger Syndrome Diagnostic Scale (ASDS), Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC), Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS), Gilliam Autism Rating Scale -2nd Edition (GARS-2), Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) -Adolescent Version, and Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ). Only a paucity of screening measures have been documented to be applicable in the evaluation of bilingual children with disabilities (125), though some exiting instruments have been modified to more accurately assess to cultural differences (126)(127)(128)(129). Despite this, any screening tool, including the M-CHAT, must be scrutinized for reliability when cross-cultural evaluations are being implemented in toddlers.…”

“…As recent work has demonstrated, trained clinicians can identify autism in very young infants (Hadley et al 2010). With respect to their own child, most parents would agree with the idea that their understanding trumps that of others, and so it is not surprising to observe such early evidence of stoppage.…”

Abstract:Drawing on population level data of exceptional quality (including detailed diagnostic information on the autism status of sibling pairs of over 3 million different mothers), this study confirms that stoppage is the average fertility response to a child born with autism, thereby reducing observed concordance in sibling pairs and leading to potentially biased estimation of genetic contributions to autism etiology. Using a counterfactual framework and applying matching techniques we show, however, that this average effect is composed of very different responses to suspicion of autism depending on birth cohort, the character of the disorder (severe versus less severe), the gender of the child, poverty status, and parental education. This study also sheds light on when parents suspect autism. We find that parents' fertility behavior changes relative to matched controls very early after the birth of a child who will later be diagnosed with autism.Keywords: autism; fertility; matching; causal inference; effect heterogeneity W E examine the fertility behavior of mothers of children with autism, using a methodological approach that allows us to estimate the effect of suspicion of a first child's autism status on subsequent fertility. In doing so, we provide an improved foundation for autism recurrence rate estimation and reveal patterns of differential ascertainment, illustrating the importance of considering heterogeneity in the autism status of firstborn children as a "treatment," as well as heterogeneity in its effects. Our results reveal when "stoppage"-a decision not to have subsequent children due to the autism status of one's first child-occurs, and demonstrate the importance of integrating demographic decisions into models of heritability.Prior literature has examined the fertility decisions of parents of children with autism because of their implications for the estimation of an accurate recurrence rate. Autism is widely believed to be one of the most "genetic" of developmental disorders (Abrahams and Geschwind 2008;Lamb, Bailey, and Monaco 2000;Wang et al. 2009). In the absence of known genetic markers, a classic way to ascertain whether a disorder is genetic is to conduct a family resemblance study where concordance of the disorder in twins is compared to concordance in full and half siblings. Only a few such studies have been conducted with respect to autism, yielding strikingly high estimates for recurrence risk. Using population level data, Liu, Zerubavel, and Bearman (2010a) found concordance rates of 47.5 percent in same-sex twins, 9.7 percent in full siblings, and 3.4 percent in half siblings. The fact that autism is at least partly genetically determined has real consequences. High heritability estimates shape the allocation of research priorities as well as lay understanding, potentially contributing to family-planning decisions. Family resemblance studies by definition require restricting the population under study to families with more than one child. If parents react to the birth of a chil...

“…Segundo Stenberg et al (2014) Com relação ao ADEC, foram encontrados cinco estudos que buscam evidências de validade e precisão, indicando que esse instrumento possui propriedades psicométricas adequadas e validade convergente com o M-CHAT (Tabela 4). O ADEC mostrou ser efetivo para detectar os sinais do autismo em crianças entre 12 e 36 meses de idade (Hedley, Young, Angelica, Gallegos, & Marcin Salazar, 2010; Os instrumentos Nível 1 utilizam o formato questionário, com tamanho variando entre nove-63 itens (M = 24; DP = 17), indicando ser esse formato o mais adequado para uso na população geral e que possui os pais ou cuidadores como respondentes. Já entre os instrumentos Nível 2, o formato de questionário não é utilizado, preferindo-se escalas e observação.…”

ResumoO rastreamento dos sinais precoces do autismo é crucial para um diagnóstico também precoce, viabilizando uma intervenção efetiva que possibilite a melhora no desenvolvimento e na qualidade de vida do indivíduo com autismo. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar os instrumentos disponíveis para rastreamento dos sinais do autismo em crianças com até 36 meses de idade. Para tanto, foi conduzida uma revisão de artigos publicados entre 2004 e 2015 nas bases de dados eletrônicas SciELO, PubMed, PsycINFO e Lilacs. Foram encontrados 11 instrumentos em 34 artigos analisados, sendo que apenas um instrumento foi traduzido para o português, o que indica uma escassez desses instrumentos no Brasil. Considerando a relevância da identificação e do diagnóstico precoce do autismo para a melhoria da qualidade de vida do sujeito, acredita-se que é essencial que estudos sobre instrumentos para rastreamento precoce sejam conduzidos no país. Palavras-chave: autismo, criança, avaliação psicológica Instruments to Screen the Early Signs of Autism: Systematic Review AbstractThe screening of early signs of autism is crucial for early diagnosis, allowing an effective intervention that allows an improvement in the development and quality of life of individuals with autism. The aim of this study was to identify the available instruments to screen signs of autism in children under 36 months of age. Therefore, a review of articles published between 2004 and 2015 was conducted in the electronic databases SciELO, PubMed, Lilacs and PsycINFO. 11 instruments were found in 34 articles analyzed, and only one instrument has been translated into Portuguese, indicating an absence of these instruments in Brazil. Considering the importance of early identification and diagnosis of autism for improving the quality of life of individuals with autism, it seems essential that studies of early screening instruments need to be conducted in the country.
