Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Autism Social Skills Profile Test. Timepoint: At the beginning of the study and after three months. Method of measurement: The measurement of this variable is done using the standard autism social skills profile questionnaire. This 48-question questionnaire was created solely to plan treatment, determine the progress of treatment and to measure a wide range of social behaviors of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder in the age range of six to 17 years, and it is particularly sensitive to the changes caused by treatment. . The said questionnaire can be completed by the parent, teacher and any other adult who is familiar with the child's social behavior. It takes fifteen to twenty minutes to complete, and the questions are graded on a four-point Likert scale (never: one, rarely: two, often: three, and always: four). Higher scores indicate more positive social behaviors. This test has been translated and validated in Farsi. The test is performed by a neurologist and the parents of the sample children after the briefing session as the beginning of the study at the brain and cognition clinic affiliated to Iran University of Medical Sciences. At the end of the 3 months of the study, the participants will be tested again.	—
