Abstract

Objective: Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by impaired social interaction and restrictive/repetitive interests. Autistic traits are similar to symptoms in ASD, but are present at the sub threshold level. Autism Spectrum Questionnaire (AQ) is the only questionnaire that has been translated into Turkish to measure autistic traits. Although populations consisting of university students are used in the studies, the reliability coefficients of AQ in this population are insufficient. The aim of the study is to examine the reliability of AQ in university students.

Özet

Amaç: Otizm spektrum bozuklukları (OSB) toplumsal etkileşimde bozulma ve buna ek olarak yineleyici hareketlerle karakterize nörogelişimsel bozukluklardır. Otistik özellikler, OSB’li bireylerdeki semptomlara benzer, fakat eşik altı düzeyde görülür. OSB’nin spektrum özelliğine benzer şekilde, otistik özellikler genel popülasyonda dağılım gösterir. Otistik özellikleri ölçmek için Türkçeye kazandırılan tek anket Otizm Spektrum Anketidir (OSA). Çalışmalarda üniversite öğrencilerinden oluşan popülasyonlar kullanılmakla beraber OSA’nın bu popülasyonda güvenirlik katsayıları yetersizdir. Çalışmanın amacı üniversite öğrencilerinde OSA’nın güvenirliğinin incelenmesidir.
