Best Answer

Autism is diagnosed by observation of the known characteristics in a person; there are several checklists and simple activities that can be used to aid this diagnosis either way. However, direct testing of an individual cannot define whether a person has autism or an autistic spectrum disorder, only whether it is not likely, likely or very likely that they do. This is because scientists are still not sure exactly what can and can't cause autism or ASD, and accordingly can't test for something whenthey don't know what to look for.

No, they just test everything else to make sure that you aren't having seizures or don't have a tumor and also you must have a vocal and motor for more than 6 months.

No, there is no test to detect Autism. Autism diagnosis is made via assessment with specialists asking the patient or their family questions about behaviour and symptoms.

Can you take a test online for Asperger's Syndrome?

yes there are many tests for aspergers . there is one problem . getting a good score in a test does not mean you have aspergers . if you want to make sure that you have aspergers and you get a high score i suggest you sign up for a diagnosis . if you dont get a high aspie score its not likely you have aspergers and you shouldn't bother much . what a test says is not always true You could take an online test to give yourself an idea whether you could have Asperger syndrome, but to know for sure you would need to see a properly qualified professional, such as a psychiatrist or psychologist, for a thorough assessment.
