			<h3>Benefits</h3>

			<ul>

				<li>Includes all new validity studies that show test results are valid for a wide variety of subgroups, as well as for the general population.</li>
				<li>Accurately discriminates children with autism spectrum disorder from children without autism (sensitivity = .97, specificity = .97, ROC/AUC = .93).</li>
				<li>Internal consistency (content sampling) reliability coefficients for the subscales exceed .85 and the Autism Indexes exceed .93.</li>
				<li>Test-retest (time sampling) reliability coefficients exceed .80 for subscales and .90 for the Autism Indexes.</li>
				<li>Interrater reliability intraclass coefficients exceed .80 and .84 for the Autism Indexes.</li>

			<ul>
				<li>Includes four new items.</li>
