Abstract
It is critical to identify the frequency and severity of various comorbid psychological problems if they are to be effectively treated. Among the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) population challenging behaviors, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety disorders, and depression are among the most common of these problems. The purpose of this chapter is to review methods that have been designed to measure these problems and related psychological problems.
