Take this test to see if they are exhibiting symptoms common among kids on the autism spectrum. Medically reviewed by: John Carosso, PsyD Below is a list of questions that relate to life experiences common among children with Asperger syndrome, a less severe form of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Please read each question carefully, and indicate how often your child has experienced the same or similar challenges in the past few months. Please be aware that some behaviors are developmentally appropriate for young children and not signs of autism. This quiz is NOT a diagnostic tool. Mental health disorders can only be diagnosed by a licensed mental health professional or doctor. Psycom believes assessments can be a valuable first step toward getting treatment.
