Table 6.

Sensitivities and specificities of the ADOS-2-PL (calculated to differentiate the ASD group and the Control group).

Module 4 6 92 74 0.77 0.88 (0.80–0.95)

For Modules 1–4 a single cutoff score has been provided; for Toddler Module where results are converted to the three-point Ranges of concern scale two cut-offs has been provided. aArea under the curve. bConfidence intervals.
