Abstract
The perceptual-Cognitive-Behavioural
Diagnostic Precision Scale for Autism Spectrum Disorder allows to
complement the analysis of the autism diagnosis through the measurement of
variables the neuropsychological processing of human information to avoid high
errors over ASD diagnosis currently existing, derived from unilateral analysis
of the behaviour criteria component of the actual Scales. The empirical scoring
of the Scale has been verified to N= 75, being 38 participants belonging to the
TEA-1 level, 24 to TEA-2 and 13 to TEA-3, has allowed find a statistical
reliability of Cronbach's Alpha average greater to .91 in the ten dimensions of
the Scale: 1) comprehension,
2) significant, 3) categories, 4) intercategorical 5) relationships-neural-nodes,
6) semantic recovery, 7) social interaction, 8) social communication, 9)
stereotyped behaviours, and 10) restrictive behaviours. These ten dimensions have
been statistically grouped around three great categories to analysis: 1)
perceptual-cognitive processing, 2) social interaction, and 3) behaviour. The
conclusive statistical analyses indicate that perceptual-cognitive process
category explains 88.52% of total accumulated explicative variance, social
category: 10.19% and behaviour: 1.28%; which shows the importance of the
perceptual-cognitive dimensional factor analysis, in order to conclude with the
mean percentiles of the diagnostic conclusion regarding each ASD´ level,
according to International Classification of the American Psychiatric
Association DSM-5 (APA, 2023).

AUTISM´ DIAGNOSIS
Interrelations between perceptive- cognitive factors and behavioural variables to level diagnosis of people with autism spectrum disorder. RA Journal of Applied Research, 9(11), 540- 548.
Manuel Ojea Rúa (2023).
ABSTRACT
Relationships analysis between perceptual-cognitive
factors and behavioural variables it makes 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.
The interdimensional
diagnostic Scale has been applied and coded for 10 dimensions: 1) conceptual
units, 2) signifiers, 3) hierarchy, 4) nodal relationships, 5) categorical
relationships, 6) Recovery, 7) social interaction, 8) social communication, 9)
stereotypical behaviours, and 10) restrictive behaviours.
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 group and their
practical applications for consequent, reliable and valid diagnosis process.
Finally, the statistical data of
your application to perform the level diagnostic analysis is completed, through
corresponding statistical percentage, means and standard deviations, to
facilitate the ASD level 1-2-3 diagnostic way.

AUTISM: NEW CONCEPTUAL PROPOSITIONAL HYPOTHESIS
M. Ojea (2023)
Abstract:
The initial sensory- attention perceptual processing in people with autism spectrum disorder forms a global analysis, but semantic content is limited, therefore, they need to complete their semantic understanding, through second analysis with purpose to encode a greater number of local details, units and/ or conceptual categories. This cognitive action developed through relational connections with concepts previously stored in permanent memory (semantic memory). Study has been designed a qualitative- quantitative triangulated way. The qualitative analysis is based on a textual- conceptual perceptual and visual-perceptual study, while the quantitative analysis has been achieved through non- parametric statistical comparative tests regarding to the grouped variable: “participants”. A total of 10 participants have collaborated in this study, 5 neurotypical participants and 5 participants with autism spectrum disorder, aged between 16-17 years old. The comparative analysis allows delimit partial differential aspects throughout study variables, according to participants´ group variable and, hence, the development of a new cognitive- perceptive theory of specific propositional processing to people with autism: Global Cyclic Theory has been concluded.
Keywords: Autism spectrum disorder, Attention-cognition-perception, Semantic memory, Conceptual propositional theory.
