The Behavioral Inflexibility Scale (BIS) is a recently developed measure of behavioral inflexibility, defined as rigid patterns of behavior that contrast with the need to be flexible when the situation calls for it. In this study, we sought to replicate previous findings on the psychometric properties of the BIS in a community sample. Data for this study were collected using in-person assessments of 163 autistic and 95 non-autistic children ages 3-17 and included the BIS, measures of social-communication ability and repetitive behaviors, and an assessment of cognitive ability. Our findings replicate the psychometric properties of the BIS, indicating that the measure is a valid measure of behavioral inflexibility in ASD.
