The Relationship of Challenging Behaviors to Severity and Symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorders
Abstract
Challenging behaviors were assessed in 313 children, and it was demonstrated that children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) exhibited greater levels of challenging behavior than both normally developing controls and children with psychopathology or atypical development. Next, we examined the relation between challenging behaviors and symptoms of autism in children with ASD. Severity of ASD was positively related to the number and intensity of challenging behaviors, and those with severe ASD exhibited significantly higher levels of problem behaviors than children with mild or moderate ASD. In addition, clusters of ASD symptoms were able to accurately predict endorsements of 8 of the 18 challenging behaviors assessed. Implications for the assessment and intervention of ASD and challenging behaviors are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
