Be sure to also cross reference the information provided on the pages with more details about aspergers symptoms and characteristics for autism to help determine whether your child possesses any of the signs.
Note: You will need Adobe Reader to download the checklist. This is available below.
The following Aspergers checklist provides the symptoms as indicated by the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria(1). The checklist is not intended to diagnose your child, but should be able to provide you with a good starting point for determining whether your child should have further evaluation.
You will need Adobe Reader (the latest version is recommended) installed on your computer in order to open and print the aspergers checklist. You can get Adobe Reader here (a new window will open so you can download it without leaving this page, but you will need to temporarily disable any pop up blockers to open the new window and the checklist).
If you want to open the file in your browser window, just click on the checklist for aspergers. However, if you want to download the file to view later, then right-click on the link and choose "Save Target As" or "Save File As." Then select where you want to save the file on your hard drive.
Once you have saved the file, locate where you saved it, and double click to open.
In order to print, open the downloaded file, and select the "Print" option.
If you suspect your child may have an autism spectrum disorder, be sure to also check out my pages with information about autism treatments.
