Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised

The Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) is a structured interview conducted by a trained professional to gather detailed information about a person’s developmental history, behaviors, and social interactions. It is used to help diagnose autism spectrum disorder (ASD). During the interview, caregivers answer questions about their child's communication skills, social engagement, and repetitive behaviors. The ADI-R provides a comprehensive assessment that supports accurate diagnosis by identifying typical patterns associated with ASD, aiding clinicians in distinguishing autism from other developmental conditions. It is considered a reliable tool in autism diagnosis when used alongside other assessments.
