Autism or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often appears in early childhood, but due to a lack of awareness, it frequently goes unrecognized. Trained Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) workers need to use a simple screening tool at the community level. Using this tool, they can observe early signs in a child’s behavior, communication, and social interaction, and make timely referrals. This helps the child receive therapy, education, and family support at the right time, ensuring inclusive development within the community. Purpose: To identify children who may have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) for early referral and intervention.Target Users: Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) field workers.Age Range: 18 months – 10 years Reference:(Adapted from WHO CBR Guidelines, M-CHAT Screening Tool, and local field experience – Bangladesh context)
