Online screening and evaluation

Please note: While these results provide valuable insights, this is a preliminary screening and does not constitute a formal medical diagnosis.

FAQs
We know that exploring neurodiversity can raise many questions. Here are answers to common inquiries parents have about the screening process.
Is the CAST a formal medical diagnosis?
No. The CAST is a preliminary screening tool, not a diagnostic test. It is designed to identify traits associated with autism spectrum conditions. A high score indicates a need for further assessment but does not replace a comprehensive evaluation by a specialist.
What should I do if my child receives a high score?
If your child scores above the threshold (typically 15+), it suggests a higher likelihood of autism. We recommend sharing the detailed report with your pediatrician or contacting us to schedule a full diagnostic evaluation to investigate further.
Can I use the CAST for children under 4 years old?
The CAST is clinically validated specifically for children aged 4 to 11. For toddlers (ages 16–30 months), we recommend using the M-CHAT-R/F screener, which is better suited to early developmental milestones.
Can I share these results with my child's school?
Yes. The results provide a helpful summary of your child's social and communication patterns. While it is not a diagnosis, it can be a useful tool to start a conversation with teachers or SEN (Special Educational Needs) coordinators about support.
