Assessments — ASD/Sensory
Checklist for Autism Spectrum Disorder (CASD)
Author: Susan D. Mayes, PhD
- Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Individual Administration
- Ages 1 through 16
- Criterion-Referenced
- Qualification Level B
Description
The CASD provides a quick way to screen for children with ASD, regardless of age, IQ, or autism severity. Thirty symptoms of ASD aligned with DSM-5 are scored as present or absent, based on a semi-structured interview with the parent; information from the child's teacher or child care provider; observations made of the child; and other records. Symptoms are grouped in six domains:
Problems with Social InteractionAtypical Communication and DevelopmentPerseverationMood and DisturbanceSomatosensory DisturbanceProblems with Attention and Safety
The standardization sample included 2,469 individuals, of whom more than 1,000 had autism (1-17 years of age, IQs of 9-146). The CASD has high diagnostic agreement with the CARS and the ADI-R.
Administration and Scoring
The CASD takes about 15 minutes to administer. An optional Training DVD is available, demonstrating administration, scoring, and differential diagnosis.
