2.8.2. Home Situation Questionnaire (HSQ-ASD)

The HSQ-ASD [41] is a caregiver-rated scale designed to assess the severity of disruptive and non-compliant behaviors in children. The scores obtained with this scale refer to the parent’s perception of their child’s behavioral manifestations. Within the scale, data are collected on inflexibility and avoidance manifested by the child. This modified and revised version for ASD consists of 27 elements. Parents are asked to indicate if their children have problems with compliance in these situations and, if so, to rate severity on a Likert scale of 0 to 9, with higher scores indicating greater non-compliance.
