AB  - PURPOSE: This study investigated whether measures of early social communication 
      vary among young children of diverse racial/ethnic status with and without autism 
      spectrum disorder (ASD). METHOD: Participants were 364 toddlers between ages 18 
      and 36 months with a diagnosis of ASD confirmed (n = 195) or ruled out (n = 169), 
      from 3 racial/ethnic categories: non-Hispanic White (n = 226), non-Hispanic Black 
      (n = 74), and Hispanic (n = 64). Group differences in social communication were 
      examined using an observational measure-the Communication and Symbolic Behavior 
      Scales Behavior Sample (CSBS-BS; Wetherby & Prizant, 2002)-and a parent-report 
      measure, the Early Screening for Autism and Communication Disorders (Wetherby, 
      Woods, & Lord, 2007). RESULTS: Controlling for maternal education, children with 
      ASD scored significantly lower on the CSBS-BS than children without, indicating 
      poorer social communication skills, and higher on the Early Screening for Autism 
      and Communication Disorders, indicating more ASD features. Racial/ethnic groups 
      did not differ on 6 CSBS-BS clusters, but Non-Hispanic White toddlers scored 
      significantly higher than both other groups on the Understanding cluster. There 
      were no significant Diagnosis x Race/Ethnicity interactions. CONCLUSION: These 
      findings indicate good agreement between observed and parent-report measures in 
      this sample. Results suggest that the CSBS-BS and Early Screening for Autism and 
      Communication Disorders could be viable tools in the detection process for 
      toddlers with ASD in these racial/ethnic groups.
