Saemundsen, Evald; Magnusson, Pall; Smari, Jakob; Sigurdaedottir, Solveig

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v33 n3 p319-28 Jun 2003

The agreement between the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI- R) and the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) was investigated in the diagnostic assessment of 54 children (ages 22-114 months) referred for possible autism. The observed agreement between the two systems was 66.7%. The CARS identified more cases of autism than the ADI-R. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
