THE GILLIAM AUTISM RATING SCALE (GARS) AND THE ATEC
Autism is mainly diagnosed using the Gilliam Autism Rating Scale (GARS), or the Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC),
There is also a protocol throughout the world of traditional medicine for assessing whether or not a treatment is effective for autistic people.
The ATEC (form established by Bernard Rimland & Stephan M. Edelson) is based on 4 categories divided into several points:
- Speech / language / communication
- Sociability
- Sensory/cognitive skills
- Health well-being / behavior
As the points decrease, the condition improves.
