Description
Summary:Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized mainly by alteration in the area of social communication. It is important to identify him early for his intervention. Our study aims to study which areas of development are most affected and their relationship with the severity of the diagnosis. For this, 51 families with children with a clinical diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder participated. We administered verbal and non-verbal IQ tests, the Gars-2 test and the Battelle Development Inventory. The results showed that the areas of expressive and personal / social communication were more deteriorated in the subjects of the sample. On the other hand, the relationship between the severity of the ASD, the IC and the different areas of development of the Batelle was verified, with the exception of fine psychomotricity.
