Abstract
AbstractThe past 30 years has been an active period for the development of diagnostic instruments for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), addressing a need in both research and clinical arenas. This chapter provides an overview of the design and selection of diagnostic instruments as well as a discussion of issues pertaining to the measurement of core ASD features. In addition, a brief historical review of some of the first instruments used to diagnose ASD is provided, followed by short descriptions of instruments currently used to diagnose ASD. The chapter concludes with a discussion about the use of instruments for specific purposes such as measuring change.
