ABSTRACT

Relationships analysis between perceptual-cognitive factors and  behavioural variables it make up autism spectrum disorder (ASD) differential specific diagnosis, constitute a fundamental recurrent of currently research, then found data allow the construction of integrated evaluation scales to validate more complete and reliable diagnosis of people with ASD.

A total of 75 participants with ASD have participated in this study of three ASD´ intensity levels and different age intervals, from 3 years old.

Data analyses focused along study the factorial analysis determinant (KMO and Bartlett's test) statistic, as well as, bivariate correlations analysis for three dimensions calculated statistically: "processing", "social" and "behaviours", show significant critical inter-relational levels (Sig: .00), which allows conclude to existence of highly relationships between both variables groups and their practical applications for consequent, reliable and valid diagnosis process.
