Interpretation & limitations
- Use the form-specific T-score profile with its validity and contextual information.
- Interpret the findings alongside the clinical interview, functioning, history and relevant physical assessment.
- A raw total is not a normative T score and cannot establish an autism diagnosis.
- Use the original instrument and manual for item wording, rating anchors, missing-data rules and any normative conversions. This reference does not establish a diagnosis or select treatment.
