Table 3.

Specificity and number of children receiving an ADOS-G score below versus at or above the cutoff for a classification of ASD

ADOS-G domain ADHD
 Anxiety disorder
Below At or above Specificity Below At or above Specificity
Communication 23 4 85.19% 16 7 69.57%
Social interaction 19 8 70.37% 18 5 78.26%
Combined (communication + social interaction) 23 4a 85.19% 20 3b 86.96%
a

= Endorsement of DSM-IV TR criteria in the parent-interview ranged from 4 to 9 for these participants.

b

= Endorsement of DSM-IV TR criteria in the parent-interview ranged from 3 to 7 for these participants.

Part of the inclusion criteria for children in the high-functioning ASD group was that they received scores at or above the the cutoff for ASD in all ADOS-G domains, and thus specificity was not calculated.
