The study evaluated the factor structure of the parent-reported Autism Spectrum Quotient Short Form in autistic children from China and the Netherlands, revealing culturally variant factor structures that may hinder cross-cultural comparisons. Substantial variation in parent-reported autistic traits between China and the Netherlands was observed, indicating potential challenges in cross-cultural assessments.
Autism spectrum disorders are diagnosed globally, but recognition, interpretation and reporting may vary across cultures. To compare autism across cultures it is important to investigate whether the tools used are conceptually equivalent across cultures. This study evaluated the factor structure of the parent-reported Autism Spectrum Quotient Short Form in autistic children from China (n = 327; 3 to 17 years) and the Netherlands (n = 694; 6 to 16 years). Confirmatory factor analysis did not support the two-factor hierarchical model previously identified. Exploratory factor analysis indicated culturally variant factor structures between China and the Netherlands, which may hamper cross-cultural comparisons. Several items loaded onto different factors in the two samples, indicating substantial variation in parent-reported autistic traits between China and the Netherlands.
