Review of the Asperger Syndrome Diagnostic Scale.

Goldstein, Sam

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v32 n6 p611-14 Dec 2002

The reliability, validity, and clinical utility of the Asperger Syndrome Diagnostic Scale in the diagnosis of pervasive developmental disorders are reviewed. While the measure holds promise as a research tool, there appears little evidence that it can distinguish among the variety of types of pervasive developmental disorders, or diagnose Asperger syndrome specifically.
