The purpose of the present study was to determine if individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) display a unique pattern of responses on the Personality Assessment Inventory‐Adolescent (PAI‐A). Twenty adolescents between ages 12 and 18 completed the PAI‐A, and their scores were compared to matched community and clinical samples from the standardization sample of the PAI‐A. Results of a profile analysis indicated the ASD group displayed unique scale elevations, which may help clarify the interpretive quality of the PAI‐A with individuals with autism. Clinicians and school psychologists should be aware of this research when selecting tools to evaluate adolescents with ASD
