Survey of Autism - Survey 4, Co-morbid and Questionnaire

Autism Survey This survey is for purposes of determining characteristics standard to autism, and should be completed by people on the autistic spectrum only, whether diagnosed or not. Neurotypical parents and professionals, do not take this survey. Click here for the neurotypical perspective survey. The purpose of this particular survey is not to find out your perceptions of your autistic child/patient's condition, but to determine how autism is seen through the eyes of the autistic. The following questions are a general survey of traits that are commonly considered to be indicative of autism. Please answer these questions as briefly as possible. However, keeping in mind that pat answers are often not entirely applicable, text input has been provided to allow for explanation of the answer if you feel there is a need for it. All radio () button choices are required. Just give the closest answer you can or "No" if you really just don't know. All other required fields are marked as such. *A Note to Curmudgeons*: If you have the need to make a snide, cynical or sarcastic remark, feel free, but please identify it as such. :-)
