AFB
Autismus-Fragebögen
Short abstract
The Autism Questionnaire (AFB) is divided into two questionnaires that assess autism based on parental judgments. Questionnaire (1) is used for the tentative diagnosis. It contains 64 items on the child's perception, language, behavior and communication problems. Questionnaire (2) asks in 21 items for data on biography, social environment, family illnesses, pregnancy and birth process, eating behavior, motor development, previous illnesses and possible treatment measures. Reliability: No data are available on reliability. Validity: Discrimination validity was examined using a control group of healthy children and a group of mentally handicapped children. Significant differences from at least one control group or a significant separation from both control groups were found.
