Question
I would like to know where to find the autism questionaire, I have a four year old I'm worried about.

Thanks


Answer
Hi Lisa;

If you mean the ASQ, you have to be a psychologist to purchase it. Otherwise I suggest you start with the M-CHAT. He's slightly too old for the M-CHAT but that should not present a problem.

M-CHAT: http://www.utmem.edu/pediatrics/general/clinical/m-chat.pdf

Scoring: http://psychlops.psy.uconn.edu/ED/downloads/M-CHATscoring.pdf


Kind regards,
James
