Free Abstract:Longitudinal changes in Scores on the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) in pre-school children with autism: Implications for diagnostic classification and symptom stability
We prospectively examined mean adjustments in Autism Diagnostic Interview&ndashRevised (ADI-R) Whole and Domains scores and balance of the ADI-R diagnostic classification in 28 young children with autism originally assessed at age two&ndash4 many years and reassessed two many years later on. Mean Whole, Social Interaction, and Conversation scores decreased substantially from Time one to Time [...]
