The Asperger's Syndrome Diagnostic Scale

The Asperger's Syndrome Diagnostic Scale is a tool used by healthcare professionals to assess whether an individual exhibits traits associated with Asperger's Syndrome, a condition on the autism spectrum. The scale includes a series of questions that evaluate social interactions, communication skills, and behaviors typical of Asperger's. Parents, teachers, or caregivers provide information based on their observations, which helps clinicians make informed diagnoses. This scale is valuable in understanding the specific challenges faced by individuals with Asperger's and in guiding appropriate support and interventions.
