Abstract

In recent years, ASD has become one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in children. Since the last century, various ASD screening tools have emerged. However, the focus and use of these screening tools are very different and may further affect subsequent diagnosis and rehabilitation. This paper aims to compare and analyze various popular ASD screening scales and questionnaires at home and abroad, summarize their characteristics and screening effects, in order to achieve more effective and convenient early ASD screening and diagnosis in the future.
