| Research Abstract |
An easy-to-use diagnostic tool for adult Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD): the Ritvo Autism and Asperger's Diagnostic Scale (RAADS: an 80-item self-administered scale; Ritvo et al., 2008) was translated into Japanese. The validity and reliability of the RAADS-J was examined. Total scores of the RAADS-J were significantly different between the ASD and the typical development (TD) group, as well as the ASD and the other psychiatric disorders (Pt) groups. However, there was a NOT statistically significant difference between the TD and Pt groups. Although the reliability and the validity of the RAADS-J were confirmed, ten items needs to be rephrased for better discrimination of these three groups.
