7 Description The OSU Autism Rating Scale DSM-5 (OARS-5) was developed to provide three types of summary scores: (A) a Autism Symptom Count, based on clinical interview; (b) a Weighted Mean Severity score based on severity of autism symptoms, derived from the clinical interview; (c) and an Impairment Index ranging from 0 to 9, based on the level of supports needed due to severity. In addition, we developed a Clinical Global Impression Scale based on the well-known NIMH CGI scale. This also has summary scores: (a) A global severity scale for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and (b) an improvement scale for ASD. How to Rate The OARS-5 contains the signs and symptoms of autism spectrum disorder described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 th Edition (DSM-5). These should be rated with the degree of impairment the patient/client experiences for the given symptom. Generally, the symptoms should be elicited in a semi-structured interview with the patient s/client s primary caregiver. We estimate the interview at about 30 minutes (the first interview may take longer). While scoring, try to take both frequency/duration and degree of impairment into account as well as how much the item interferes with relationships, learning, and/or activities of daily living and how much extra support is needed. Thus, rituals or preoccupations that severely interfere with most attempts to transition or that are present most of the time should be scored 2 or 3. Conversely, a ritual or preoccupation that is very mild, occupies little time, and interferes only mildly with daily events may be scored as 1. Scoring OSU Autism Rating Scale-5: 1. Total Symptom count. Each symptom that is present (i.e., scored as 1, 2, or 3) is tallied in the symptom count. If the subject is nonverbal, we have adopted the convention of counting that as a symptom. Thus for nonverbal subjects, a 3 in the right column for item #1(a) and 2(a) should be treated as positive and at the highest rating for that symptom. 2. Weighted Severity Mean. For all verbal subjects, clinicians should rate each of the items following the caregiver s description of the particular problem with a rating of 0, 1, 2, or 3. Both the Social Interaction and the Restricted Patterns of Interest subscales are averaged and a Total Weighted Mean is derived. * For nonverbal subjects, the items that specifically refer to idiosyncratic speech should be rated a 3 if other ASD symptoms are present, to reflect the greatest level of impairment. Items receiving a rating of 3 in the event that a subject is nonverbal includes, items #A1(a) and #A2 (a). * Please note that if no other ASD symptoms are present, then verbal items should be rated 0 3. Impairment Index. The DSM-5 requires that a part of the diagnostic process include the evaluation of an individual s level of impairment and need for outside supports when managing the skills of daily living. In Section C of the OARS-5, following a discussion with the child/adolescent s caregiver, clinicians will rate the level of support ranging from 0 (no support) to 3 (maximum support). 7
8 OSU Global Severity Scale for Autism In addition to the OARS-5, OSU has developed an Autism Clinical Global Impression ( OSU Autism CGI ) scale, which has separate subscales for symptom severity and for global improvement. These are rated in a similar way to the NIMH CGI Severity scale (Guy, 1976), but the focus is autism spectrum symptom severity and improvement. Symptoms frequently associated with autism spectrum such as irritability, compulsions, hyperactivity, and self injurious behavior, should also be considered in the CGI ratings even if not listed in the DSM-5 symptoms. 1. Not present; no ASD in evidence OSU Autism CGI-Severity Scale 2. Barely evident, ASD symptoms minimal might pass for normal on casual acquaintance 3. Mild ASD symptoms; obvious abnormality but can function in most situations. 4. Moderate ASD symptoms; unable to function in some unfamiliar situations without support 5. Moderately severe ASD; symptoms very evident; needs some support in many situations, even some familiar; symptoms restrict activity (e.g., experiences considerable difficulty with transitions and this interferes with daily activities). 6. Severe ASD; symptoms very evident at all times; needs 1:1 support or close supervision much of time; perhaps serious associated symptoms such as self-injury or compulsions that intrude on others. 7. Classic autism/asd; symptoms evident to all and present in all situations; may need continual supervision or residential care; associated symptoms (e.g., extreme compulsions, self-injury) may be extremely intrusive to others or detrimental to self. Today s score: OSU Autism GGI-Improvement Scale 1. Very much improved (symptoms minimal if present; confined to few settings) 2. Much improved; treatment worth continuing; makes a difference on quality of life and/or daily activities. 3. Minimally improved; barely better than random or natural fluctuation in clinical state 4. No change; within range of random changes or natural fluctuations. 5. Minimally worse; modestly worse than random or natural fluctuation in clinical state 6. Much worse; definitely worse than usual behavior or activities of daily living impaired 7. Very much worse; marked worsening to behavior, or activities of daily living, or quality of life much worse 8
