Autism, also known as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a developmental disorder that affects communication, social interaction and behavior. It is a complex condition that can manifest differently in each individual, making it challenging to diagnose and treat. To better understand and assess individuals with autism, various psychological instruments have been developed. These instruments serve a crucial purpose in aiding professionals in accurately identifying and evaluating the severity of autism in individuals. They also play a significant role in developing individualized treatment plans and measuring the effectiveness of interventions. In this article, we will explore the purpose and function of these psychological instruments used to assess autism and their importance in the diagnosis and treatment of this disorder.
