目的：本研究关注自闭症社会发展的定量测量方法的发展。方法：多元回归方程预测社会，沟通，和日常生活技能的葡萄园适应行为量表来自一个大的，规范的样本，并适用于自闭症和非自闭症，发育障碍儿童群体。预测模型包括心理或实际年龄和其他相关变量。结果如下：自闭症组的社交技能比根据他们的心理年龄预测的社交技能低两个标准差以上;根据实际社交技能与预测社交技能的比率得出的指数，正确分类了94%的自闭症患者和92%的非自闭症患者，发育障碍病例。结论：研究结果与社会障碍是自闭症定义的核心的观点是一致的。本研究中使用的方法具有潜在的优势，可以提供更精确的自闭症社会发展指标。
Objective: This study was concerned with the development of quantitative measures of social development in autism. Method: Multiple regression equations predicting social, communicative, and daily living skills on the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales were derived from a large, normative sample and applied to groups of autistic and nonautistic, developmentally disordered children. Predictive models included either mental or chronological age and other relevant variables. Results: Social skills in the autistic group were more than two standard deviations below those predicted by their mental age; an index derived from the ratio of actual to predicted social skills correctly classified 94% of the autistic and 92% of the nonautistic, developmentally disordered cases. Conclusions: The findings are consistent with the idea that social disturbance is central in the definition of autism. The approach used in this study has potential advantages for providing more precise measures of social development in autism.
