Table 4.

Raw scores on autism diagnostic measures (Z-scores in parentheses). For the SRS, adult norms were generated from spouse reports in 285 couples. The mean score for adult women was 30.7±20, similar to population-based samples of healthy children and adolescents. Children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder have mean scores of 100±20, and scores between 60–80 are suggestive of mild difficulties in social interactions
