Autism – Tics, AD/HD, and other Comorbidities

(Redirected from Autism—Tics, AD/HD, and other Comorbities)

The Autism – Tics, AD/HD, and other Comorbidities (A–TAC) is a psychological measure used to screen for other conditions occurring with tics.[1][2] Along with tic disorders, it screens for autism spectrum disorders, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other conditions with onset in childhood.[1] The A-TAC has been reported as valid and reliable for detecting most disorders in children.[3][4][5][6] One telephone survey found it was not validated for eating disorders.[3]

Developed at the University of Gothenburg by Christopher Gillberg and colleagues, A–TAC is organized into twenty modules. The 96 questions cover a range of child psychiatric topics.[7][8] The A–TAC can be done as a clinical telephone interview and is also available in multiple languages on the Swedish Child Neuropsychiatry Science Foundation.[9][10] Questions include "almost verbatim" the characteristics listed in the DSM-IV diagnostic definitions of disorders for several conditions.[9]
