La
version parentale du Spence Children's Anxiety Scale (SCAS-P) est souvent
utilisée pour évaluer l'anxiété chez les enfants avec un diagnostic de trouble
du spectre de l'autisme (TSA), mais on sait peu de choses sur la validité
de l'outil dans cette population.
Les résultats suggèrent que les comparaisons entre groupes entre les échantillons TSA et anxieux basés sur les scores SCAS-P peuvent ne pas
être toujours appropriés.

Abstract
The Spence Children's Anxiety Scale-Parent version (SCAS-P) is often used to assess anxiety in children with autism spectrum disorder
(ASD), however, little is known about the validity of the tool in this
population. The aim of this study was to determine whether the SCAS-P
has the same factorial validity in a sample of young people with ASD
(n = 285), compared to a sample of typically developing young people
with anxiety disorders (n = 224). Poor model fit with all of the six
hypothesised models precluded invariance testing. Exploratory factor
analysis indicated that different anxiety phenomenology characterises
the two samples. The findings suggest that cross-group comparisons
between ASD and anxious samples based on the SCAS-P scores may not
always be appropriate.
