RESUMO
RESUMO O Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) tem início precoce e é caracterizado predominantemente por prejuízos persistentes na comunicação social recíproca/interação social e por padrões restritos e repetitivos de comportamento, interesses ou atividades. Pesquisas apontam que indivíduos com TEA apresentam altas taxas de problemas emocionais e de comportamento. O objetivo do presente estudo é avaliar os aspectos emocionais e comportamentais através do Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) em crianças que preencheram critérios para o diagnóstico de TEA. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, quantitativo e retrospectivo. No CBCL/1½-5, contatou-se que a escala Problemas do Espectro Autista apresentou escore clínico. Quanto ao CBCL/6-18, as escalas Retraimento, Problemas de Pensamento, Problemas de Atenção e Problemas de Estresse (DSM) apresentaram sintomatologia clínica. Os achados desse estudo estão de acordo com outras pesquisas da área. Os resultados do presente estudo sugerem que o CBCL é útil para a identificação de sinais de alerta de TEA.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopment disorder characterized by impairments in social interaction/communication and stereotyped behavior. The literature suggests that individuals with ASD often presents emotional and behavioral problems. The aim of this study was to examine emotional and behavioral aspects in patients who have been diagnosed with ASD after a psychological evaluation. The tool used for investigation was the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), in both versions (1½-5 and 6-18). This is a quantitative, descriptive and retrospective study. The CBCL/1½-5 profiles showed elevated scores in Withdrawn, Internalizing Problems and Autism Spectrum Problems scales. The CBCL/6-18 showed clinical scores for Withdrawn/Depressed, Thougt Problems, Attention Problems And Stress Problems. The pattern of elevations found in this study is consistent with prior studies. Although CBCL is not a diagnostic tool, it can be considered an useful instrument for detecting alarm signs of ASD.
