The A-TAC (Autism-Tics, ADHD and other Comorbidities) is a telephone interview designed for the CATSS study in Sweden, aiding in screening for autism, ADHD, DCD, and learning disabilities. It is validated through interviews with parents and has specific cut-offs for various conditions.

The ASDASQ is a screening tool for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in adult psychiatric outpatients. It comprises nine symptom-oriented questions and one relating to previous contact with child psychiatry. High scores (5 or higher) suggest further evaluation for ASD, aiding in screening psychiatric populations for ASD.    

The ASDI (Autism Spectrum Diagnostic Interview) is an investigator-based interview intended for use by psychiatrists who want to determine in 15-20 minutes whether an individual patient is likely to meet criteria for a diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome or Autism.

The ASSQ (Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire) is one of the most widely used autism screening tools in the world for screening. The ASSQ consists of 27 items.

The ASSQ-REV was developed with a view to capturing concerns/symptoms of autism that might be more typically occurring in girls than boys. Very few studies have been performed showing that there might indeed be a few of the extra 18 items included in the ASSQ-REV as compared with the ASSQ that particularly capture the female autism phenotype.

The SAB 0-2 (Symptoms of Autism Before age 2 years) is a parent/caretaker questionnaire to study the earliest symptoms and signs of autism and to find indicators that could separate autism from intellectual disability before age 2 years.
