5/4/2024 0 Comments Autism spectrum test scores![]() Our findings suggest the usefulness of the AQ-J in screening for ASD and SCD. The AUC for the ASD and SCD groups was 0.75 the optimum cutoff value was 32 points (sensitivity 67.7%, specificity 71.2%). The AUC for the SCD and NT groups was 0.89, and the optimum cutoff value was 22 points (sensitivity 84.6%, specificity 85.7%). In the ROC analysis for the ASD and NT groups, the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.96, and the optimum cutoff value was 23 points (sensitivity 92.9%, specificity 85.7%). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were used to examine AQ-J total score cutoff values to distinguish between ASD and NT groups, SCD and NT groups, and ASD and SCD groups. Participants were 127 ASD patients, 52 SCD patients, and 49 NT individuals. This study examined whether the Japanese version of the AQ (AQ-J) total scores could discriminate between an ASD group, an SCD group, and a neurotypical (NT) group. However, AQ cutoff scores for screening ASD and SCD in the DSM-5 have not been established. The autism spectrum quotient (AQ) was developed to screen for autism tendencies in adults with normal intelligence. SCD involves impairments in social communication and social interaction but not restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual and Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and social (pragmatic) communication disorder (SCD) were described as a new category of psychiatry nosography.
