ASDetect

A great and needed tool to help families with children under 2.5yrs who want to screen for signs of autism using a validated questionnaire. I was able to register, enter my child’s details and complete the screening. I felt the screening result was accurate. Two bugs I noticed: the “forgot password” feature isn’t working - it doesn’t actually send a password reset email. I tried several times. I got around this by registering again but with a different email address. The other bug was some of the links to websites are broken. I hope you manage to iron things out as something like this is needed out there for families. If there were the option to complete it annonymously I’m sure even more people would use it.

Unable to set my child’s age it just keeps resetting

Have signed up but it won’t let you enter correct birthdate - it keeps spinning off what you choose

It won’t let me put in an age for a child over 30 months of age and I couldn’t figure out how to change this. Therefore I could not use it as a diagnostic tool for my 9 year old.

Can’t find a way to create an account or log in.

I can certainly see the great potential for this app however it does not allow me to select the correct date of birth for the child so the questions asked are not applicable.

It is a spectrum for a reason. My son came up with low likelihood and is L2 ASD. He has a desire for social engagement but isn’t great at it. He makes eye contact and gestures but his autism affects his literal use of language and being able to contextually construct stories and sequence things. His a very typical markers but it isn’t always black and white. However, the quality of the videos are fantastic.

This app worked fine (although I didn’t use the videos), but it’s useless for identifying girls on the spectrum who don’t fit the “classic presentation”. Fine for boys (and girls) who are showing those typical textbook signs, but not the girls (and boys) who are exceptional maskers and have the often overlooked “girl” presentation of ASD.

Same issue as reviewer from below. I find this a great helpful tool and appreciate so much research behind it, however there is no sound on the videos. Nevertheless without the sound still helpful

I downloaded the app few days ago and I can assure that the quality of the videos impressed me. the information is very clear. It took me to another level of understanding how a neurotipical and Neuroatipical children play. Thanks.
