Participaram 118 mães de crianças de três a quinze anos, divididas em três grupos: crianças autistas; crianças com distúrbios de linguagem; e crianças sem patologias informadas. As mães responderam ao Child Behavior Checklist. Os grupos Transtorno Autista e Distúrbios de Linguagem tiveram escores médios significantemente maiores que o grupo de crianças sem patologias informadas. O grupo com Distúrbios de Linguagem teve escores médios maiores em comportamento agressivo e comportamentos externalizantes. As crianças com transtorno autista tiveram escores médios maiores em Problemas de Pensamento e menores em Ansiedade. Crianças com transtorno autista apresentam problemas de comportamento diferentes de crianças sem patologias informadas.Palavras-chave: transtorno autista; problemas de comportamento; Child Behavior Checklist. Behavioral Problems of Children with Autism DisordersABSTRACT -The purpose of this study was the identification of behavioral problems in children with autism disorders. In total 118 mothers of children between three and fifteen years of age responded to the Child Behavior Checklist. Three groups of children were differentiated: children with autism, children with language disorders, and typical schoolchildren. The autism and language disorder groups had significantly higher average total scores than the typical schoolchildren. The language disorder group had higher average scores on aggressive behavior and externalizing behavior. The children with autism disorders had higher average scores on thought problems and lower scores on anxiety. Children with autism showed different behavioral problems in comparison with the two remaining groups of children.

Perfil escolar e as habilidades cognitivas e de linguagem de crianças e adolescentes do espectro do autismo

“…According to the diagnostic criteria it is based on behavioral observations and reports by the parents (3) . The severity of the disorder, progresses and aggravations can also be measured by the observation of behavioral characteristics (4) .

Levantamento de problemas comportamentais/emocionais em um ambulatório para adolescentes

“…There are no Brazilian standards for it, even though the ASEBA tools have been used in Brazil for more than ten years. For this reason, the results obtained from Brazilian adolescents are compared to those of North-American adolescents (Marteleto et al, 2011;Rocha, Araújo, & Silvares, 2008;Sarmento, SchoenFerreira, Medeiros, & Cintra, 2010), which may lead to less accurate results since the cultural aspect is not taken into account (Achenbach et al, 2008). Different scores are obtained in other countries (Donaldson & Ronan, 2006;Roussos et al, 2001).…”

“…This instrument is used in more than 60 different cultures and has been employed internationally in epidemiological studies as part of the diagnostic process and to compare behavioral/emotional problems among cultures (Achenbach et al, 2008;Ferdinand, 2008;Honkalampi et al, 2009). Researchers have developed studies using the family of tools developed by the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA), in order to identify individuals with a high risk of psychiatric disorders and who, therefore, require more detailed evaluation (Marteleto, Schoen-Ferreira, Chiari, & Perissinoto, 2011;Oliveira-Monteiro, Negri, Fernandes, Nascimento, & Montesano, 2011). The version used in this study was provided by the current representative of ASEBA in Brazil.…”
