Sturmey, Peter; And Others
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v22 n2 p321-28 Jun 1992
Analyses of the internal consistency of three autism scales--the Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC), the Real Life Rating Scale (RLRS), and the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS)--were conducted with 34 children with pervasive developmental disabilities. Good internal consistency was found for the CARS. Adequate full-scale consistency was found for the ABC and RLRS though individual subscales were variable. (DB)
