Official at-home autism screening in 15 minutes
autism awareness
The most suitable time for autism screening is between 18-24 months.
The approved medical questionnaire can be completed by the mother, father, or doctor. The autism medical questionnaire is officially translated and available in Arabic.
The name of the screening is: M-CHAT-R, which is designed for detecting autism cases in the community. Early diagnosis of autism significantly helps in providing a treatment plan for the child.
The goal of the questionnaire is to screen a larger segment of the community in an easy and quick manner.
Some important considerations:
- The result of the questionnaire does not confirm or rule out autism definitively.
- If there is suspicion of autism, a pediatric specialist should be consulted.
Key symptoms include:
- Social isolation
- Repetitive patterns of certain behaviors
Note for parents: Autism spectrum symptoms vary from one child to another.
This application is run by a pediatrician.
