Asperger's Syndrome Diagnostic Scale

The Asperger's Syndrome Diagnostic Scale (ASDS) is a tool that helps identify traits associated with Asperger's Syndrome, a condition on the autism spectrum. It involves a questionnaire completed by parents or caregivers, assessing behaviors like social interaction, communication, and interests. The scale provides scores that help professionals determine whether someone exhibits characteristics consistent with Asperger's. While it aids in screening, a comprehensive evaluation by a qualified clinician is necessary for an accurate diagnosis. The ASDS helps ensure early detection and support for individuals towards suitable interventions and understanding of their needs.
