Introduction: The assessment of symptoms of autism spectrum disorders and attention deficit hyperactivity disorders in children is often a clinical challenge, especially now when both diagnosis can be made in the same patient. Structured scales and interviews might improve clinical assessment in those cases. Objective: To provide the Brazilian version of Multidimensional Scale for Pervasive Developmental Disorder and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (MSPA). Methods: We performed a cross-cultural adaptation, and analysis of degree of agreement. A sample of 216 children either with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder or typical development had their parents scoring MSPA-BR. Reliability and validity were analyzed. Results: Correspondence between versions was significant and strong agreed. Three factors fitted the variables and criterion validity yielded significant associations between MSPA factors and correspondent measures. Reliability was adequate. Conclusion: Psychometrics suggests that MSPA was adequately translated and cross-culturally adapted to Brazilian children population. This study provides MSPA’s validity and reliability and offers to Brazilian community an instrument of fast administration for pediatric mental health.
