Recommendation | Psychometric evidence |
|---|---|
Appropriate | Sufficient psychometric evidence for reliability and validity in the ASD population with information available on all relevant indices |
Appropriate with conditions | Sufficient psychometric evidence for reliability and validity for some (at least 3) but not all indices with an ASD sample population |
Unsupported/insufficient | Emerging data showing sufficient evidence for reliability or validity in one or two indices in the ASD population or evidence in a group other than ASD (e.g., typically developing) but unknown in ASD population |
Inappropriate | Contrary data on reliability or validity in one or more indices |
