- Brazilian Portuguese Childhood Autism Spectrum Test an investigation of the factor structure of autistic traits in school-aged children(2022) RIBEIRO, Tatiane Cristina; FARHAT, Luis C.; CASELLA, Erasmo B.; GRAEFF-MARTINS, Ana Soledade; BARON-COHEN, Simon; ALLISON, Carrie; POLANCZYK, Guilherme V.Objective: There is limited evidence about the cross-cultural validity of autistic symptoms in schoolaged children in Brazil. We used data from a large school survey to evaluate the factor structure of autism symptoms in community-dwelling children and adolescents. Methods: We translated the Childhood Autism Spectrum Test to Brazilian Portuguese and performed factor analyses to investigate the factor structure of parent-reported autistic symptoms in a large sample (n=8,571) of children/adolescents from a school survey in the metropolitan area of Sa similar to o Paulo. Results: Autistic symptoms were best conceptualized under a correlated-factors model with two factors: one predominantly characterized by social-communication symptoms and the other by symptoms of inflexible/restricted language, behaviors, and interests. Conclusions: These findings provide evidence that the structure of autistic symptoms in Brazil is similar to that described in other countries, indicating the cross-cultural validity of autism in Brazil.
