The K-ASDS, the Korean version of Asperger disorder inventory (K-ADI), and K-CARS were administered to mothers of all children by clinical psychologists.
Results: The internal consistency of the ASDS was high (Chronbach’’s alpha=0.88) and the range internal consistencies of each subscales of K-ASDS were from .83 to 66. Correlation coefficients between K-ASDS and KADI was significant. Discriminant analysis showed that the Korean version of ASDS significantly discriminate Asperger disorder from PDD and Communication disorder, and the percentage of correct classification were71%.
