View through CrossRef
This chapter describes the assessment of the developmental history, and the roles of informants and patients in this assessment process. Specific approaches used are summarily described, including items in the Diagnostic Interview for Social and Communication Disorders (DISCO) and the Autism Developmental Interview-revised (ADI-R). There is a detailed discussion of how to ask about stages of development and how to interpret findings, which has been developed as guidance given during training in the assessment clinic. There is also a discussion of which questions are easy and which harder for informants and observers, and how to assist them with their replies.
