Autism Screener For Toddlers

If I turn my head to look at something, my child will look to see what I am looking at.

My child is interested in other children (e.g., he/she will watch them, smile at them, or go over to them).

My child makes odd movements with his/her fingers near his/her face?

My child understands my directions without me pointing (e.g., put the book on the table, pick up the toy, give me the blanket).

My child looks at something if I point to it  (e.g., if you point to a toy across the room or a dog outside, your child looks at the toy or dog).

My child points at things to ask for something he/she wants or needs (e.g., he/she points to an object he/she wants like a toy, bottle, food item, or cup).

My child shows me things he/she is interested in by pointing to them (e.g., a dog outside, a truck on the road, an airplane).

When my child sees or hears something for the first time, such as a new toy or strange noise, he/she looks at my face to see my reaction.

My child tries to get me to look at him/her or tries to get me to watch him/her do something? (e.g., your child dances or jumps up and down in front of you, says "look" or "watch me," does something silly to make you look).

My child likes when I do movement activities with him/her such as bouncing him/her on my knee or swinging him/her around.

My child is bothered by common noises such as loud music or the vacuum cleaner (e.g., he/she will scream or cover his/her ears).

My child looks me in the eye when I am talking to him/her, playing with him/her, helping him/her get dressed, etc.

My child tries to copy me when I do things such as wave, clap, or make a funny face or noise.

When I smile at my child, he/she smiles back at me.

I have wondered if my child has hearing problems because he/she doesn't always seem to hear me or respond when I speak to him/her.

My child likes affection from me (e.g. your child likes hugs and kisses from you, puts his/her arms out for you to hug him/her).

My child likes climbing on things like furniture or playground equipment.

My child engages in make-believe or pretend play (e.g., he/she will pretend to eat toy food, pretend to cook, pretend to talk on the phone, or pretend to feed a stuffed animal).

My child responds when I call his/her name by looking up, stopping what he/she is doing, or talking/babbling back to me.

When my child likes or is interested in something he/she will bring it over to me or hand it to me (e.g., a new toy someone gave him/her, a flower he/she picks up outside).
