This is a free educational checklist for parents of babies 0–24 months. It is not a medical diagnosis, not a substitute for a pediatric visit, and not an autism test.
Many children who show one or more of these behaviors do not have autism. Some children with autism show few of these signs early on. Only a qualified clinician can evaluate your child.
You do not need this tool's result to ask for help. If you are worried, talk to your child's doctor. In many places you can also contact Early Intervention directly — a diagnosis is not required.
If your child has lost words, gestures, or social skills they used to have — contact a doctor promptly regardless of this tool's result.
Tell us about your baby and what is worrying you. We will help you understand what you are seeing, what it might mean, and exactly what to do next.
For babies 0–24 months · Not a diagnosis · Based on AAP and CDC developmental milestones
