Objective: This study evaluates self-and proxy-reported health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The study also compares HRQOL in ASD patients with a healthy control sample and a psychiatric reference sample. Method: 42 children and adolescents (39 male, mean age: 12.7 +/- 2.6 years, mean IQ: 100.5 +/- 20.7) with the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their parents completed the Inventory for the Assessment of Quality of Life in Children and Adolescents (ILK). Results: Mean ILK LQ 0-28 scores were 20.6 (+/- 4.6) (self-report version) and 18.2 (+/- 4.0) (proxy version). Compared to a reference sample, mean ILK scores from the ASD sample were at the 47th percentile (self-report) and the 33rd percentile (proxy). Compared to children and adolescents with psychiatric disorders, self-reported ILK scores correlated with the 69th percentile, and proxy-reported ILK scores correlated with the 67th percentile. Self-reported HRQOL was significantly higher than proxy-reported HRQOL. No significant correlation was found between HRQOL and age, IQ, or autistic symptoms. Conclusions: HRQOL in children and adolescents with ASD seems to be better than in other psychiatric disorders, but lower than in healthy controls.
