CHAT Test for Autism

Why are these bizarre comments on this site? KWHero's is just insane.
My friend took this for her son who has vision problems. This can point to several disabilities, or to a child who is very quiet and introspective.
I think you should filter these comments.

Please remove this incorrect test!!!

I am Teddy. Once you read this you cannot get out. Finish reading this until it is done! As I said, I am Teddy. I am 13 years old and have no eyes and blood all over my face. I am dead. If you don't post this in 12 threads, I will come to ur house at midnight and hide under ur bed. When ur asleep I'll kill you. Don't believe me? Case 1: Patty Buckles got this email. She doesn't believe in chain letters. Well, foolish Patty. She was sleeping when her TV started flickering on and off. Now she's not with us anymore. Haha Patty, haha. You don't wanna be like Patty, do you? Case 2: George M Simon hates chain mail, but he didn't wanna die that night. He put it in 4 threads. Not good enough George. Now George is in a coma we don't know if he'll ever wake up. Haha George haha! Now, you don't wanna be like George do you? Case 3: Valarie Tyler got this letter. Another chain letter she thought. She only put this in 7 threads. Well, that night when she was having a shower she saw Bloody Me

i got 30% and im in the enrichment program (a.k.a. a smart person)

The scoring is irrelevant.. in general if you score more no's then it would be worth getting the results checked out by a professional.. I wish I'd had access to this test when my son was this age..

I got 26% when my mum did this test for me :D I'm 12 years old

I agree with xrox. Questions 3,4,5 and 7 are signs of a healthy child not one with autism. I was testing my nephew for autism witch he most likely has and for fun I tested my daughter who definitely does not have it. She scored 23% and I thought that was wrong so when I saw what xrox had to say I changed the answers to 3,4,5 and 7 and she got 0%. Children at age 3 should want to bounce on your knee, play with other children partake in pretend play and want to climb on things. Who came up with this test any way? The age group for children should be broke down more as well. A 3 year old and an 18 year old are going to behave differently of course. Some one should fix this.

According to this test questions 3,4,5 and 7 are signs of autism if answered "yes"? Yeah, right!! This test should be removed or at least corrected.

Your score is 85%

Your test has indicated that your child may possess nearly all of the indicative markers that can be for Autism Spectrum Disorder. Because the wording of the test can be interpreted in different manners, please follow up with your Pediatrician at your earliest convenience.

It probably means 18 and lower.
(I'm 17++)

Yes and I'm Autistic.

This test is crap. My son has autism and I was doing it for my daughter. You cannot get a 0% score at all. The lowest I got it was 3% and for that your had to score No on questions 4,5 and 7. Which means your child has to have no interst in other children (red flag!), not like climbing on things, and have no pretend play (BIG red flag!!) What twaddle. My daughter is complete unautsitic and I answerd the questions but she scored 18%!!

i gotta 28% an i is almost 16.....

im autistic and all i got was 38%

erm i have asperger syndrom and i got 54%

yeah im 11 and got 28% is that bad?

As a school psychologist working exclusively with children wtih autism AND a parent, I have to say that it's incredibly irresponsible to have this quiz posted. Not only are there errors in what's posted, but there is no way to interpret your "score" how does a percentage correspond to a positive/negative score? Simple - it doesn't.

For those of you who are concerned about autism: Either talk to your doctor or at least look to a reliable source for additional information.

For the individual who posted this content: Please do the responsible thing and remove this!

My 2 year old scored 64%-and that was with giving her the benefit of the doubt, she scored 79% the first time I did it!

Your score is 28%

All positive scores on this test are markers for Autism Spectrum Disorder. This is a common screening test that is given to children ages 18 months to 24 years. Please see your Pediatrician if you have received a positive score.

so what's a positive score o_O

i took this quiz and got44%
i have some signs of autism
but i'm 13

This was very interesting. I knew my toddler wouldn't come out as autistic, but it was great to read what's being looked for. Be interesting to see which couple of questions he was positive for, though
