Autism Symptoms Checklist
The first autism symptoms checklist provided gives a list of the symptoms and signs associated with autism as indicated by the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria(1). The second checklist for autism in toddlers (CHAT) is one that may be used by a physician at an 18 month check up to determine whether a child is displaying signs or symptoms of autism(2).
