The ASRS (Autism Spectrum Rating Scales)

The Autism Spectrum Rating Scales (ASRS) is a tool used by professionals to assess behaviors and traits associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It involves questionnaires filled out by parents, teachers, or caregivers, who observe the individual's social, communication, and behavioral patterns. The ASRS helps identify strengths and challenges related to ASD, providing valuable information to guide diagnosis and support planning. It is not a standalone test but part of a comprehensive evaluation to better understand an individual’s needs within the autism spectrum.
