Abstract
This thesis is submitted by Kaysha Luces for the Clinical Psychology Doctorate. It includes two chapters. The first chapter is a meta-analysis of studies reporting on the diagnostic accuracy of autism screening tools in children born preterm Eight studies were included for meta-synthesis. The key finding was that autism screening tools demonstrate poorer diagnostic accuracy in preterm population compared to the general population. The second chapter is a pilot study that estimates the effect size of the correlation between shared intentionality and social competence as assessed by the ADOS Social Affect domain. A very small negative correlation was found. A power analysis recommended a sample size of 1716 would be required for a full study, were this the true size of the effect.
