Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS)

The Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) is a quantitative measure of autistic traits. The SRS has demonstrated good psychometric properties and cross-cultural validity for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) assessment. Different versions may be available for different cohorts.

In Generation R, the SRS was reported by parents to measure autistic traits for children covering the past six months.
