Can the <i>Children's Communication Checklist</i> differentiate between children with autism, children with ADHD, and normal controls?

Abstract

Pragmatic difficulties do occur in both HFA and ADHD. The present studies indicate that the CCC is a useful instrument to obtain information concerning pragmatic language use in both a clinical and a research setting. Although the information of parents is more tightly linked to the diagnosis, combining the information of both parent and teacher slightly improves case identification.
