This document provides an autism spectrum disorder checklist based on the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria. It includes two main criteria: persistent deficits in social communication/interaction and restricted, repetitive behaviors/interests. For each criteria, it lists specific symptoms and asks the evaluator to indicate how each symptom is documented, such as through an ADOS assessment or observation. It also includes specifiers like intellectual impairment, language impairment, known etiological factors, associated disorders, and severity level. The checklist is used to systematically document whether a child meets the diagnostic criteria for autism spectrum disorder.
