Abstract

Although social factors are commonly viewed as an important defining characteristics of the autistic syndrome, earlier research studies have not systematically evaluated social dysfunction in autistic individuals. In this study, the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales were used to assess adaptive behavior in a group of autistic and a group of nonautistic, developmentally disabled, individuals. As compared to nonautistic subjects, the autistic group exhibited significantly greater deficits in adaptive social behaviors. The result suggests the utility of a well-standardized, normative assessment instrument for documenting autistic social dysfunction.

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.
