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.
