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 Interaction
  • Atypical Communication and Development
  • Perseveration
  • Mood and Disturbance
  • Somatosensory Disturbance
  • Problems 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.
