Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Childhood Autism Rating Scale

Time Frame: day 1 and day 10

In the Childhood Autism Rating Scale, the rater observes the behavior of the child in specific situations and assigns scores based on a series of descriptive items. Each item is scored on a range of 0 to 4, with 0 indicating no abnormality and 4 indicating severe abnormality. The rater also considers the overall impression and severity of the child, resulting in a total score. The total score falls between 15 and 60, with higher scores indicating a higher level of autism severity.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Children's Communication Checklist(day 1 and day 10)
  • Social Interaction Assessment Scale(day 1 and day 10)
  • Children's Depression Inventory(day 1 and day 10)
  • Childhood Anxiety Sensitivity Index(day 1 and day 10)
