So far I've only looked on Google Scholar, but it looks like there are a few books on Abnormal Psychology in Davis that have some information on the ADI-R. I'm still planning on looking into the types of questions as well as the scoring and the algorithm used for scoring. I also want to research what areas the test actually measures and the validity of its measurements.

After talking with my partner I'm also planning on researching the history of the assessment. I would like to find out who created it and how it has evolved over time (how the revised version is different from the original version). Also, I want to look into how specific results of different areas of the ADI-R affect treatment options.

UNC-CH Libraries Catalog Search:

-Searched for Autism Diagnostic Interview in keywords and found many books on abnormal psychology, but none specifically about autism. Two books that looked like they might be helpful are Current diagnosis & treatment psychiatry and Clinical assessment of child and adolescent personality and behavior.

-Searched for Diagnosing Autism in keywords. Most of the books that came up were about diagnosing learning disorders in general.

-Searched Autism in title and Diagnostic in keywords and found some more specific books such as Autism spectrum disorders in infants and toddlers : diagnosis, assessment, and treatment and Autism, diagnosis, instruction, management, and research

-Many articles about the ADI-R are available in the Journal of autism and developmental disorders online also.

Google Search:

-Searching for "Autism Diagnostic Interview Revised" returned 14,600 results. Most of the results just mention the ADI-R, but don't necessarily provide the information I need about it, but the first two websites seem like they will be very helpful: http://www.agre.org/program/aboutadi.cfm and http://portal.wpspublish.com/portal/page?_pageid=53,70436&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL

-Searching for "Autism Diagnostic Interview Revised" scoring returned 6,110 results. One result in particular seems to cover all of the topics about the ADI-R that I am interested in, but haven't found information about yet: http://autism.lovetoknow.com/Autism_Diagnostic_Interview
