Asperger Syndrome Diagnostic Scale
The Asperger Syndrome Diagnostic Scale (ASDS) is a tool used to assess individuals for Asperger syndrome, a condition on the autism spectrum. It consists of questionnaires that gather information from parents, teachers, or caregivers about a person's behaviors, social interactions, and communication skills. The scale helps professionals identify specific traits associated with Asperger syndrome, which may include challenges in social situations, unusual interests, and repetitive behaviors. Based on the responses, clinicians can better understand an individual's strengths and difficulties, guiding a proper diagnosis and tailored support strategies.
