is not a specific algorithm (that is, formula and cut-off score) for a diagnosis of AS, as there is for autism.
Child Behavior Checklist. In addition to the test instruments discussed in this chapter, a broad measure of emotional/behavioral disorders such as the Child Behavior Checklist (Achenbach, 1991; Achenbach & Rescorla, 2000) can be useful in screening for additional disorders that also require intervention.
Stroop Color Word Test
BACKGROUND
In the Stroop Color Word Test subjects are asked to read a list of color names that are printed in a different color (e.g., the word GREEN is printed in blue).
Although this test has been shown to be sensitive to some clinical conditions (such as Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder; Ozonoff
& Jensen, 1999), it has never been found to differentiate persons with AS/HFA from controls.
Tests under Development
Ghuman-Folstein Screen for Social Interaction. This recently developed rating scale of social behaviors in preschool children (Ghuman et al., 1998) also shows promise as a screening tool. It has been found by its authors to be capable of differentiating children with autism spectrum disorders from typically developing children and from children with other developmental disabilities. However, the authors cautioned that this instrument is still under development and does not yet have the research foundation to be used clinically as a screening tool.
The Ghuman et al. study involved 60 normally developing controls and 51 children with various developmental disorders, some of whom met criteria for autism on one or more elements of the ADI-R.
