The Gilliam Asperger Disorder Scale is a normreferenced test designed to evaluate children with unique behavioural problems who may have Asperger's Disorder. Based on the most current and relevant definitions and diagnostic criteria of Asperger's Disorder, the GADS is useful for contributing valuable information toward the identification of children with this disorder. Easily completed by a parent and professional who knows a child, the GADS provides documentation about the essential behaviour characteristics of Asperger's Disorder necessary for diagnosis. It can be used with confidence in the assessment process, documenting behavioural progress, targeting goals for IEPs, and for research purposes.
