Background
Deenz Autism Spectrum Profile Assessment Scale (DASPAS) is designed to evaluate and assess the profile or pattern of traits, behaviors, and characteristics associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Autism Spectrum Test is a digital adaptation of DASPAS designed to provide automatic scoring and insights into various aspects of ASD. This instrument is not designed to make a self-diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. Participation in this test is completely anonymous and no data is collected or stored for research purposes.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental condition that affects how a person interacts, behaves with others, perceives, and experiences the world around them. ASD is called a spectrum because it affects people differently with a specific combination of strengths, challenges, and impairments. A person with ASD may find it difficult to communicate and connect with others, may face trouble expressing feelings, and may find certain sounds, lights, or sensory experiences overwhelming.
Deenz Autism Spectrum Profile Assessment Scale adopts a multidimensional approach to assessing challenges and impairment. The main focus of the scale is to examine patterns of traits and behaviors across multiple domains, supported by various research findings in the field of autism spectrum studies. By examining fourteen different characteristics associated with autism spectrum traits, the scale provides valuable insights into the unique profiles of individuals.
Procedure
The assessment consists of 42 statements and typically requires 6–8 minutes to complete. Participants respond to statements describing social experiences, communication patterns, sensory sensitivities, routines, emotional experiences, attention, and other characteristics associated with autism spectrum traits.
Scoring & Interpretation
The DASPAS measures fourteen dimensions associated with autism spectrum characteristics:
Socialization
Communication
Sensory
Flexibility
Routine
Repetition
Emotional Sensitivity
Anxiety
Empathy
Motor
Attention
Transition
Expression
Special Interests
Higher scores indicate stronger expression of the specific characteristic being measured. Autism spectrum profiles vary substantially from person to person, and no single dimension should be interpreted as evidence of autism spectrum disorder on its own.
