Zusammenfassung

Background: Since its inclusion in the diagnosis of intellectual disability, the diagnostic criteria of ‘significant limitations in adaptive behavior’ has become very important and researchers have tried to confirm the existence of a’ behavioral phenotype’ that facilitates the diagnosis between groups with different etiologies. Aims: The aim of our research has focused on the study of the adaptive behavior profile in individuals with ASD and Down syndrome who participated in the development of the Diagnostic Adaptive Behavior Scale (DABS) in the Spanish context. Procedure: After developing the DABS and assess its goodness of fit with IRT models, it was applied to a sample of 1.047 people with and without intellectual disabilities. The cause of intellectual disability was Down syndrome in 172 cases, and 92 people had ASD as another condition. Once we studied the differences in adaptive behavior profiles between both groups, significant differences were found, both depending on the type of skills (conceptual, social or practical) as a function of age.
