SIGNS OF AUTISM QUIZ
{ designed for children 12-36 months }
Is your child showing signs of autism?
Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), covers a wide range and severity of symptoms including communication and social difficulties, as well as repetitive or obsessive behaviors. Autism can be diagnosed as early as 18 months but some developmental delays can be identified even earlier.
We created a brief quiz to help you determine if your child is on track for development. Please answer the questions below.
