Which would be a pretty darn severely affected child if you think about it. Hmmm. I know is very young and he could be a WHOLE lot worse. I have a lot of hope that his intelligence and his special gifts will help him to overcome his difficulties. And I know that 2-4 seems to be the worst time for a lot of kids; another year or two will undoubtedly bring amazing changes. The last year certainly has. But it does seem lately that he shows a lot more very autistic behaviors. From the tests, though, those have been balanced by improvements in other areas, and that is encouraging. -Sara.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 I found the scale. There is a second way to get to the test on the page (I messed around with the URL to see what else was on the page) that has the scale.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 Uh...not formally but I kind of guessed it :0). But three of them are normal. Does that count? Atlanta is so normal it is painful. I prefer the autistic behaviours to the normal smart-mouth moody 9 year old behaviour. BLECH! (Sad, huh?) As for Cherokee and Dakota....well....they are normal, depending on what your defination of normal is. LOL! Let's just say that Cherokee is a self-proclaimed freak and Dakota is following in her footsteps. Georga Hackworth www.ubah.com/F1549 Enter to win $50 in FREE books!

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2003 Report Share Posted January 12, 2003 > scored an overall scaore of 63, what does that mean? That means that now you have a baseline score. So in a few months, or after starting any kind of intervention, you can go back to the ATEC and score him again then compare your two scores to see if the new addition is having a positive effect, or a negative effect, or no effect at all. :-) It's a GREAT tool for assessing results. Other than that, it doesn't mean much at all. You could say that 63 is in about the 50th percentile of autistic kids, based on the ATEC scoring tables, but your child's score can change all the time.

Seems to me that the table caps at " 110 and above or 110-149 " or something like that. I've always assumed that since they cut it off like that, the scores generally fall between 0 and 110, with a few scoring higher - but not enough for them to differentiate.
