“…The ADEC has further demonstrated robust clinical properties when abbreviated to a five-item format, which has potential for application in settings such as during child wellness checks (Nah et al, 2019;Nevill et al, 2019). The ADEC has been translated and validated for use in Spanish (Hedley et al, 2010), Japanese (Kawashima et al, 2021), Indonesian (Sidjaja, 2015), and has been piloted for use in Singapore (Nah et al, 2014). It has been found to perform similarly to the ADI-R and CARS (Nah et al, 2014) as well as the ADOS-2, particularly the toddler module (Hedley et al, 2015), in differentiating ASD from other conditions in toddlers.…”
