High-ability youth diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) historically have been neglected within samples validating ASD screening measures, and consensus for what constitutes high ability has not been established. The Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ) and Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) are two common screening tools for ASD used within research and practice settings. We investigated the accuracy of the ASSQ and SRS for ASD identification among a sample of 23 high-ability youth previously diagnosed with ASD. Results suggest both ASSQ and SRS measures inconsistently screened for ASD. The high-ability students with ASD scored significantly lower on the SRS total score and social cognition, communication, and motivation subscales, suggesting potential phenotypic differences among high-ability youth with ASD that could inform assessment and intervention strategies.

患有 ASD 的高能力青少年的 ASD 筛查措施：检查 ASSQ 和 SRS

在验证 ASD 筛查措施的样本中，历史上被诊断为自闭症谱系障碍 (ASD) 的高能力青年一直被忽视，并且尚未就高能力的构成达成共识。自闭症谱系筛查问卷 (ASSQ) 和社会反应量表 (SRS) 是研究和实践环境中使用的两种常见的 ASD 筛查工具。我们调查了 ASSQ 和 SRS 在先前诊断为 ASD 的 23 名高能力青年样本中用于 ASD 识别的准确性。结果表明 ASSQ 和 SRS 测量都不一致地筛查了 ASD。患有 ASD 的高能力学生在 SRS 总分和社会认知、沟通和动机分量表上的得分明显较低，
