Previous research indicates that scores on the parent-report SRS-2 School-age form are associated with internalizing and externalizing symptoms in both autistic and non-autistic children, yet less is known about the self-report SRS-2-Adult (SRS-2-A). Considering the widespread use of the SRS-2-A for a variety of different research and clinical purposes, examining how non-autism-specific factors affect SRS-2-A scores is warranted.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>This study aimed to examine the relationship between scores on the SRS-2-A and the ASEBA Adult Self Report in a sample of 203 autistic independent adults.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Findings indicate that the SRS-2-A was significantly associated with scales designed to screen for internalizing, externalizing, and personality disorders. The Avoidant Personality scale has direct overlap with SRS-2 items, which may partially explain associations with this scale. The Depressive and Anxiety scales are somewhat less easily explained.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Taken together, results suggest that SRS-2-A scores may reflect a combination of diagnostic and autism-related features, as well as symptoms associated with non-autism co-occurring conditions. Caution is warranted when using SRS-2-A scores to characterize autistic adults. Information from multiple sources is needed to help distinguish autistic features from those related to commonly co-occurring conditions, such as depression and anxiety, and ultimately inform understanding of how these features interact with other individual and contextual factors to improve measurement of autism diagnostic features.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10803-025-06988-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,6]],"date-time":"2025-08-06T10:40:50Z","timestamp":1754476850000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Associations Between the SRS-2 and the ASEBA Adult Self Report: Implications for Interpretation of the SRS-2 in Autistic Adults"],"prefix":"10.1007","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4379-5782","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Linnea A.","family":"Lampinen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeannine E.","family":"Ederer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0750-823X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vanessa H.","family":"Bal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"6988_CR1","unstructured":"Achenbach, T.
