Abstract

The ADOS characterizes socio-communicative deficits in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). In this study the effect of module choice on ADOS classification was examined. For 74 participants (52 autism, 22 PDD-NOS), Module 1 and Module 2 were administered in a single session. Fifty-one participants maintained ADOS classification, with 17 more impaired on M2 and 6 more impaired on M1. For 64 participants (25 autism, 39 PDD-NOS), Module 2 and Module 3 were administered. Thirty-nine participants maintained classification, with 24 more impaired on M3 and 1 more impaired on M2. As expected, more impairment was indicated when a module with more language and task demands was administered. Clinical judgment of the most appropriate module for administration was found to be important.

These findings should be interpreted with caution because AE scores have significant psychometric weaknesses, and in this case the scores are from multiple measures which introduces additional error. Ratio IQ values are based on AE. Nonetheless, a preliminary sense of the role of verbal and nonverbal abilities on choice of module can be gained from this analysis.
