SIGNS OF AUTISM

Wondering whether some of your experiences could be related to autism? This checklist offers a starting point for reflecting on social communication, sensory sensitivities, routines, focused interests and masking—the effort to hide traits to fit in.

Use it to identify experiences you may wish to discuss with a qualified professional. The checklist cannot confirm or rule out autism, but it can help you put your questions into words and consider whether an assessment may be helpful.
