Abstract

Authors contrasted Bracken Basic Concept Scale: Receptive, Third Edition (BBCS: R-3) test performance between 57 children with intellectual disability (ID) and 76 children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and ID. BBCS: R-3 School Readiness Composite (SRC) and Self-/Social Awareness subtests were analyzed. Multivariate analysis of covariance revealed no differences between groups on SRC performance; however, children with ID demonstrated better mastery of self-/social awareness concepts when compared to children with ASD. Within the group of children with ASD, mastery of school-based concepts exceeded mastery of self-/social awareness concepts. Findings suggest relatively greater delays in mastery of self-/social awareness concepts for young children with ASDs when compared to mastery of other concepts.

Cited bibliography overview

These indicators describe the bibliography cited by this publication. An author name is counted each time it appears in one cited reference, so the same person can be counted more than once. Names not yet linked to an author already present in AutiHub are treated as unknown, not as non-autistic. Last computed: 17 Oct 2026 01:01.
