What This Means

—

Important: This screening is not a diagnosis. Only a licensed professional can diagnose autism spectrum disorder. These results are intended to guide a conversation with your child's care team. Children who screen positive on the M-CHAT-R/F will not necessarily be diagnosed with ASD, but may benefit from further evaluation.
