En su versi\u00f3n original en ingl\u00e9s demostr\u00f3 alta precisi\u00f3n en la identificaci\u00f3n del trastorno del espectro autista (TEA). El presente estudio explora la sensibilidad y especificidad de una versi\u00f3n de AMSE en lengua espa\u00f1ola en una muestra argentina de 313 sujetos, frente al diagn\u00f3stico de consenso cl\u00ednico utilizando los criterios del DSM-5. Materiales y m\u00e9todos: Se calcularon los valores de corte mediante el an\u00e1lisis de la curva ROC (Caracter\u00edstica Operativa del Receptor por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s: Receiver Operating Characteristic), identificando la sensibilidad, especificidad, valor predictivo positivo (VPP) y valor predictivo negativo (VPN) correspondientes. La homogeneidad interna de los \u00edtems fue evaluada a trav\u00e9s del coeficiente alfa de Cronbach. Asimismo, se calcul\u00f3 el coeficiente Kappa de Cohen para estimar la confiabilidad interevaluador. Resultados: Los hallazgos indican una sensibilidad optimizada del 90,71 % y una especificidad del 92,17 % para esta muestra de 313 pacientes. AMSE mostr\u00f3 una consistencia interna aceptable de .75 y unaalta confiabilidad entre evaluadores (K = .97). Discusi\u00f3n y conclusiones: AMSE se perfila como una herramienta prometedora para la evaluaci\u00f3n diagn\u00f3stica de TEA en ni\u00f1os, adolescentes y adultos en riesgo, destac\u00e1ndose por su alta utilidad cl\u00ednica. Su aplicaci\u00f3n es especialmente relevante en regiones como Am\u00e9rica Latina, donde el acceso a la capacitaci\u00f3n y uso de las escalas que son est\u00e1ndar de oro es limitado. Estos resultados respaldan el uso de AMSE como una herramienta diagn\u00f3stica breve, confiable y culturalmente adaptada para apoyar el diagn\u00f3stico cl\u00ednico de autismo en contextos de habla hispana con recursos limitados.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.53680\/vertex.v36i170.941","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,10]],"date-time":"2026-01-10T14:52:18Z","timestamp":1768056738000},"page":"14-30","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Validaci\u00f3n del examen del estado mental en autismo en espa\u00f1ol: sensibilidad y especificidad en una muestra cl\u00ednica argentina"],"prefix":"10.53680","volume":"36","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1497-4709","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sebasti\u00e1n H.","family":"Cukier","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ana","family":"Maglio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-3287-4583","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jonathan","family":"Berman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-4556-8796","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marco","family":"Arduini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0687-4510","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Natalia","family":"Barrios","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maranada","family":"Ngue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4293-5416","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cecilia","family":"Montiel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9673-9170","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M\u00f3nica Elsa","family":"Ferrea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5083-7798","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karina","family":"Gutson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-0222-3554","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emilio","family":"Zieba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marcela","family":"Menass\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1961-9252","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"Grodberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"31787","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,10]]},"container-title":["Vertex Revista Argentina de Psiquiatr\u00eda"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/revistavertex.com.ar\/ojs\/index.php\/vertex\/article\/download\/941\/730","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/revistavertex.com.ar\/ojs\/index.php\/vertex\/article\/download\/941\/730","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,10]],"date-time":"2026-01-10T14:52:18Z","timestamp":1768056738000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/revistavertex.com.ar\/ojs\/index.php\/vertex\/article\/view\/941"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,10]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"170","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,10]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.53680\/vertex.v36i170.941","relation":{},"ISSN":["2718-904X","0327-6139"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2718-904X","type":"electronic"},{"value":"0327-6139","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,10]]}}}
