This study investigated the reliability of the PASS scales on CAS2: Rating Scale for Japanese college students and the neuropsychological cognitive characteristics of autism spectrum disorder (ASD)and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and the relationship between these disorders’ behavioral characteristics. The Cognitive Assessment System second edition (CAS2): Rating Scale Japanese version was used and 148 Japanese university students were participated in this study. Participants were required to answer the CAS2: Rating Scale, The Autism-Spectrum Quotient Japanese version-10 (AQ-J-10), and Adults ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) part-A, using the self-report format. Results revealed that the characteristic PASS process in CAS2: Rating Scale was not observed on the high scoring group on AQ-J-10. On the other hand, the high scoring group on ASRS part-A had low score on the attention scale in CAS2: Rating Scale. Therefore, we suggested that ASRS scores have a relationship with neuropsychological attention function.
