The Autism—Tics, AD/HD, and other Comorbities (A—TAC) is a psychological measure used to screen for other conditions occurring with tics.[1][2] It consists of a comprehensive screening interview which addresses autism spectrum disorders, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, tic disorders, developmental coordination disorder, learning disorders and other associated child mental disorders.

Developed at the University of Gothenburg, it is organized into twenty modules. Questions in the A—TAC include almost verbatim the characteristics listed in the DSM-IV diagnostic definitions of disorders such as autistic disorder and AD/HD as well as a selection of items addressing elements of other disorders such as anorexia nervosa, obsessive compulsive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, separation anxiety, depression, and psychosis. Each item is structured with three possible answers for each item: yes (scored as a 1), yes to some extent (scored as a 0.5), and no (scored as 0).[3]
