社会反应量表（SRS）; Constantino和Gruber的社会反应量表（SRS）。Western Psychological Services，洛杉矶，2005）是一种常用的筛查工具，用于识别可能患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的儿童。本研究调查了SRS评分和最终诊断结果之间的关系，儿童提到了第三级，自闭症的具体评估服务。48名儿童（平均年龄= 8.10; 92%为男性）接受了全面的ASD评估。父母和老师的SRS评分随后与诊断结果进行了比较。敏感性高（91%为家长报告; 84%为教师报告），但特异性低得多（8%为家长报告; 41%为教师报告）。结果表明，需要谨慎解释SRS结果的基础上，目前的截止分数，特别是在以前确定的社会发展问题的儿童。
The Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS; Constantino and Gruber in Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS). Western Psychological Services, Los Angeles, 2005) is a commonly used screening tool for identifying children with possible autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This study investigated the relationship between SRS scores and eventual diagnostic outcome for children referred to a tertiary level, autism specific assessment service. Forty eight children (mean age = 8.10; 92% male) underwent a comprehensive ASD assessment. Parent and teacher SRS scores were subsequently compared with diagnostic outcome. Sensitivity was high (91% for parent report; 84% for teacher report), however specificity was much lower (8% for parent report; 41% for teacher report). Results demonstrate a need for caution when interpreting SRS results based on current cut-off scores, particularly in children with previously identified social developmental problems.
