Abstract 

The main aim of this study is to empirically prove the Diagnostic Accuracy Scale to diagnosis of people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), the sample of participants has been extended, paying special attention to students over 14 years of age, adapting the activities and, therefore, the indices-criteria of the observation factors. A total of 94 students have participated in the study, whose coded data allow us to corroborate the data found in the initial scale, facilitating a precise and exhaustive diagnosis of the disorder by levels.

The diagnostic conclusions were based on the gaussian curve found from the typical scores obtained from the direct scores obtained in the ten dimensions of the analysis, made up of three dimensional categories, whose percentage weighting is as follows: 1) the procedural category (60%), 2) the social dimensional category (20%), and 3) the behavioural dimensional category (20%), the overall sum of which allows the diagnostic conclusions of the disorder to be drawn, both at a general level and according to the specific level of ASD. The percentage levels are justified by the empirical studies of the study. Thus, the stepwise linear regression analysis carried out includes two dimensions corresponding to the procedural category as basic predictors of the disorder: I) semantic retrieval (Beta: .90, R²: .82), and II) relationship between retrieval (Beta: .57) and interconcepts or relationships (R²: .82). 57) and interconcepts or relationships between information (Beta: .35), being the overall constant (Beta: .92, R²: .84), ahead of the social or behavioural dimensions, which supports the importance of the procedural dimension, especially related to the development of nodes or relationships between information content in determining the specific criteria for the diagnosis of ASD.
