Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ) Guide

The Autism Screening Questionnaire is typically used by parents, teachers, healthcare providers, and mental health professionals to screen for potential ASD in children and adolescents.

This questionnaire is used when a child or adolescent displays behaviors that may suggest ASD, such as difficulties with social interaction, communication, or restrictive or repetitive behaviors.

The ASSQ is a fillable form with 27 items scored from 0 (not true) to 2 (certainly true). Once all items are completed, the scores are added together, and a total score of 13 or above may suggest the need for a more comprehensive ASD assessment.
