TL;DR: It is suggested that parent ratings could be a useful source of information about anxiety symptoms in this population of children with PDD, and some anxiety symptoms such as phobic and social anxiety may be closer to core symptoms of PDD.

TL;DR: The CARS-2 is an update of the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS), an older and widely-used rating scale for autism, designed as a clinician rating scale to be completed after a direct observation of the child by a professional familiar with autism who had also obtained some brief training on how to rate the CARS items.

TL;DR: Results indicated that published recommendations and guidelines for the use of EFA are largely ignored, and key methodological variations were used to evaluate EFA usage over a 10-year period in five leading developmental disabilities journals.
