Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the adaptive behavior profiles of Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS), the correlation between the adaptive behavior composite and the domains of VABS in children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and comorbid Intellectual Disability (ID). Materials and Methods: A retrospective, descriptive study of participants included children with ASD and comorbid ID (mild or moderate grade), ages ranged from 6 to 12 years. The VABS were recruited from the Psychological Unit, Rajanukul Institute, Thailand. Descriptive statistics, A Mann-Whitney U test and Pearson’s correlation coefficients were used to analyze data. Results: The sample consisted of 92 males and 17 females (mean age 7.75 years). Overall adaptive behavior composite was equivalent to age 3.29 years. The profile of VABS showed that the highest skill domain attained to daily living skills domain - equivalent to age 3.59 years followed by communication domain - equivalent to age 2.73 years and lastly socialization domain - equivalent to age 2.63 years. The pattern of profile showed that children with ASD and comorbid mild ID got the higher score than moderate ID in all domains, a statistically significant difference was detected (p < 0.01). The adaptive behavior composite correlated with communication domain (r = 0.835), daily living skills domain (r = 0.801) and socialization domain (r = 0.745). Furthermore, the correlation coefficient within all domains and subdomains were positive correlations for all variables (r > 0.5), a statistically significant difference was detected (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The VABS profile in the children with ASD and comorbid ID showed the overall adaptive behavior composite were lower than the chronological age. Daily living skills domain was the highest score. Communication domain was highly positive correlation with adaptive behavior composite.
