ABSTRACT:

The theoretical- propositional changes of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) from  generalized structural deficit conception of development towards a multilateral  conceptual basis of neurodevelopmental, it has allowed the evolution of the test and scales to score the items-criteria that make up this disorder from a perspective, not only evolutionary-behavioural, but also perceptual-cognitive and neural-nodal relational, therefore, in this sense, then new scales construction in order to complement evolutive and behavioural analysis with the exhaustive neurocognitive functional study, especially, focused on the synaptic neural processes of the information processing. Right, in this study has been proposed as a general aim to compare the diagnostic conclusions gotten justly the application of the evolutionary- behavioural scales and the integrated complementation of the perceptual-relational-cognitive from the scales based on the analysis of executive processing deepening about.  A total of 24 students have participated in this study to, 6 participants with a previous diagnosis who haven´t presented ASD´ diagnosis from the conventional scales, 9 with diagnosis of ASD-1 level, 6 with diagnosis of ASD-2 level and 3 with diagnosis of ASD-3 according the application of the evolutionary scales. The study complemented with the Revised Perceptual-Cognitive Scale has been analysed throughout non-parametric statistical test by Friedman and Kruskal Wallis. Data found have indicated significant changes over initial diagnostic conclusions, which have been found significant critical differential comparative levels regarding to initial diagnostic group to .05 reliability level.
