ASRS Manual

The Autism Spectrum Rating Scales (ASRS) can be used to identify symptoms, behaviours and associated features of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in children from 2-18 years of age.

It is an easy-to-use and convenient tool intended for psychologists, school psychologists, clinical social workers, physicians, counsellors, psychiatric workers and pediatric/psychiatric nurses.

When used in combination with other assessment information, results from the ASRS can help guide clinicians diagnostic decisions, treatment planning, ongoing monitoring of response to intervention, and evaluating the effectiveness of a treatment program for a child with an ASD.

The ASRS has been updated with DSM-5 symptom criteria for ASD.

The ASRS Manual provides information on:

• ASRS Options (Components, Scoring Methods, Report Types)
• Uses of the ASRS
• Theory and Research
• Administration and Scoring
• Interpretation of results
• Test Development and Standardisation
• ASRS Short Form Development
