 -5 (CBCL). Results. There were 61 abnormal results: MRI 37 (31%); high-resolution chromosomes 8 (7%); fragile X molecular testing 4 (3%); and microarray comparative genomic hybridization 12 (10%). A total of 47 children had abnormal tests (40%): none, 72 (60%); one, 36 (30%); two, 8 (7%); three, (3%). Younger children with more developmental delays are more likely to have abnormal tests. They are clumsy, more passive, and less disobedience. They had lower total, externalizing, and internalizing problems scores. The odds of finding an abnormal investigation are increasingly greater as parent’s report of language comprehension and social development ratios increase, and decrease in likelihood for every increase in the expressive language and fine motor ratios. Interpretation. Parent’s reports predict abnormal tests and indicate quantifiable differences requiring investigation.
