Answers to common questions about autism screening, detection, and support for your child.
How accurate is this autism screening quiz?
This screening tool is designed to identify potential signs of autism spectrum disorder based on clinical criteria. While a helpful first step, it's not a medical diagnostic tool. Only licensed healthcare professionals can provide an official autism diagnosis.
At what age should I be concerned about autism signs?
Early signs often appear between 12-18 months. Key milestones include eye contact, responding to their name, and social smiling. This screening is optimized for children ages 2-12, as signs become more apparent during these years.
What should I do if the screening suggests autism signs?
Don't panic—early identification leads to better outcomes. Schedule an appointment with your pediatrician immediately. Request a referral to a developmental specialist for a comprehensive evaluation and contact local Early Intervention services.
How long does the assessment take?
The screening typically takes 5–10 minutes. It uses an adaptive questionnaire system, meaning you answer between 10-20 questions tailored to your child's specific developmental profile.
