No monologues or inappropriate commentary or self -talk occurs. Running commentary during the ADOS imaginative play task may be acceptable in elementary school-aged children. ;
1 = Occasional (1-2 occurrences) conversational turns are slightly too lengthy, but generally the child is not overly talkative and communicative exchanges are conversational in nature. The child might be slightly overly talkative when discussing a topic of special interest or when telling about an event that is especially important to him/her.;
2 = Consistent or frequent ( >2 occurrences) conversational turns are slightly too lengthy or clearly too lengthy during one conversational turn. The child is generally overly talkative and communicative exchanges are often not conversational in nature. Score a '2' if the child engages in inappropriate self-talk, commentary or monologues. If on one occasion during the communication sample, the child is difficult to interrupt, or the examiner has difficulty regaining the conversational floor, a score of '2' is clearly appropriate.

Insufficient background information/ or Insufficient Linkage with Prior Ongoing Discourse |

Words (terminology, pronouns, proper nouns) and content of the child's utterances make sense given the information that has been shared previously (within the current conversational turn, and with prior discourse). That is, the referents and background information for establishing a context for interpreting the information in the child's utterances has been established by the child.;
1 = Occasionally (1-2 times) provides insufficient background information to make the information comprehensible. Uses an acronym or terminology, or uses a deictic marker (such as "here/there", "this/that"), or provides information without previous reference or provision of sufficient background information. . Score a '1' if the child provides insufficient information when the topic focuses on emotions or friends or marriage or some other sensitive subject matter.;

Topic initiation, including small talk |
0;2

0 = Occasionally or consistently initiates a topic and makes small talk (light conversation). A general rule would be the presence of three topic initiations during a 30-minute conversational exchange, but if the tone of the session has been a 'question and answer'format, where the examiner is clearly in the role of topic management, the child's introduction of a single new topic may be sufficient to be scored here as a '0. For this reason, the conversational sampling procedure must be carefully designed and executed to create an atmosphere of communicative sharing where each partner has the opportunity and license to initiate topics. (Note: Do not count as a new topic when the child points to a picture on the ADOS poster and labels something such as "Idaho potato" but does not elaborate or use this as an opener to signal the initiation of a new topic. As an example, the following utterance would count as a topic initiation: "Idaho potato. I see these in the grocery store." ; 2= Rarely or never initiates a topic or initiates small talk during the conversational sample.

Score a '2' if there are unannounced topic shifts (absence of segue) or if the child produces utterances in a conversational context that appear to be irrelevant because the links to prior discourse have not been made clear.

0 = Consistently engages in reciprocal conversation where s/he produces at least two topic-related utterances that add new information to the examiner's utterance during a 4-turn (examiner-child-examiner-child) communicative exchange that was initiated by the examiner. The child is engaged conversationally with the examiner and conversation flows easily. The examiner does not have to exert more than a typical level of effort to elicit the communicative exchange. A score of '0' may be given if the child requires a few minutes of warm-up time to become conversational. ;
1 = Inconsistently produces two turns in a 4-turn reciprocal conversation with the examiner (see criteria for the score of '0'). Child engages in reciprocal conversation less often than expected or only easily engages in conversation on a particular topic (often this is a topic of special interest to the child). Score here if engaging the child in conversation is difficult during discussions about emotions or friends or marriage.;
2 = Difficult to "draw out" in conversation. Child does not spontaneously "do his/her part" as a conversationalist during the session. The examiner has to 'work' at eliciting verbal output from the child. Also includes children who are "chatty" but nonetheless fail to engage in reciprocal back-and-forth conversation about a given topic, and depend upon E providing direct questions/prompts (e.g., child may continue on own train of thought, change topics frequently, bring up new topics but fails to converse back-and-forth about them with E.

The child leaned in too closely or backed away on one occasion-not related to effect/meaning (e.g., leaning in to divulge discrete or private information). Score a '1' if child reaches across the examiner to get a puzzle piece in the ADOS (if s/he has to get close to the examiner's body). For scoring purposes, the table is considered the 'acceptable zone' for distance from the examiner. If the child gets up and walks around, remaining at the periphery of the table, and remains facing the examiner during the communicative exchange, score a '1'.;
2 = A single clear violation of interpersonal space rules or several questionable/mild violations. This may include: unwarranted touching of interviewer even on one occasion, leaning in too closely two or more times, turning away from examiner during a communicative exchange, falling on the floor or consistently maintaining an inappropriate distance from the examiner throughout interview. Score a '2' if the child touches the examiner (e.g., leaning on examiner) without being invited to (e.g., putting their hand on the examiner's leg or arm, or resting their head on the examiner's shoulder, reaching over to touch the examiners hair, smelling the examiner). If the examiner has to lean back to create more distance because of the child's encroachment on the examiner's personal space, a score of '2' is clearly warranted.

Gestures |
0::2

0 = Typical form, diversity, and frequency of gestures to augment or supplement verbal communication. In general, a child should have 2-3 typical descriptive gestures and many other conventional/informational/emphatic gestures to receive a "0";
1 = Few gestures were used during the interview, or occasional awkward/odd gestures were used. There must be some appropriate and communicative gesture use to obtain a score of '1'. In general, must have at least 1-2 typical descriptive gestures and some conventional / informational/ emphatic gestures as well.;
2 = Rare or lack of appropriate gestural communication. No descriptive gestures or infrequent use of other types of gestures. Frequent odd/awkward gestures (without the presence of several other typical, appropriate descriptive gestures and other types of gestures to "bump up" the score to a "1"). Head and body movements were not used, or gestures failed to augment verbal communication or were inappropriately used during conversation. The child seems oddly still, stiff, or awkward in the use of gesture throughout the interview.

Score a '2' if the child's expressions are clearly not reciprocal with the examiner's or the child's expressions make the listener feel uncomfortable or unwelcome

0 = Eye contact is well modulated during interactions with the examiner. ;

0 = Developmentally appropriate pragmatic behavior;
1 = Some pragmatic difficulties noted, but not clearly abnormal. Score a '1' if the child demonstrates some pragmatic difficulties, but the behaviors do not set the child apart from neurotypically developing peers and do not cause social problems. A child scoring a '1' would not likely be referred for pragmatic or social communication intervention.;
2 = Atypical pragmatic behavior. Score a '2' if the child demonstrates pragmatic difficulties that set them apart from neurotypically developing peers and/or cause social problems. A child scoring a '2' is likely to be referred for pragmatic or social communication intervention.
