LOINC description : A questionnaire to assess autism spectrum disorders (ASD), a group of developmental
problems that includes autism, Asperger's syndrome, Rett syndrome and the category
of Pervasive Developmental Disorders Not Otherwise Specified. Autism spectrum disorders
are characterized by a lack of social interaction, difficulties in verbal and nonverbal
communication, and restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behavior (American
Psychiatric Association, 2000). This measure is used to screen an individual for the
symptoms of autism spectrum disorders. According to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC), it is estimated that between 1 in 80 and 1 in 240 with an average
of 1 in 110 children in the United States have an autism spectrum disorder (Centers
for Disease Control, 2009). Autism displays a familial pattern as first-order relatives
of those with autism spectrum disorders are at greater risk for autism and other developmental
problems than the general population (American Psychiatric Association, 2000).;
