Autism Symptoms The Comparison Score based on age and language level was generated from this instrument. We used cutoffs that correspond to the ADOS-2 CS, with scores of 1–4 indicating no worse than mild autism symptoms, 5–7 moderate autism symptoms, and 8–10 high levels of autism symptoms (Lord et al. 2012a).
