Huerta et al. (2012) mappings were contrasted with those determined by the current authors, in order to evaluate two sets of expert mappings of ADI-R and ADOS symptoms.

Threshold of 1 point on any ADI-R or ADOS item that maps on to this symptom is sufficient for endorsement; Per communication with Cathy Lord.

ROC-defined cutoffs were determined by examining the distribution of the sum of ADI-R and ADOS items that contributed to each DSM-5 criterion, and identifying the cut score that balanced sensitivity and specificity (Domain A: highest score that maintained a sensitivity of .90; Domain B: lowest score that maintained specificity of .50 or higher; see Tables 4-5).
