Thank you for completing the Q-CHAT for your child.
Research at the Autism Research Centre, University of Cambridge has shown that the average score on the Q-CHAT in the general population is 27. The score range on the Q-CHAT is 0 – 100. The average score for boys is 28, and for girls is 26. The average score for children with a diagnosis of autism is 52. If you have concerns about your child and their score is equal to or greater than 39, please print this page with the questionnaire and discuss this with your family doctor. A score of 39 and above does not mean your child has autism. It simply means that if you already have concerns relating to social communication development, it may be worth discussing these with a health professional. Similarly, if your child scores less than 39 and you are still worried about his/her development, please consult with your family doctor or seek advice from a trusted health professional.
The Q-CHAT questionnaire is brought to you by Transforming Autism and the Autism Research Trust.
For GPs/Health Professionals
The Quantitative Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (Q-CHAT) is a parent-report 25 item questionnaire that aims to capture traits that may be related to autism in toddlers aged 18 – 30 months. Items focus on social communication, repetitive and stereotyped behaviours, and sensory behaviours. A preliminary study of the Q-CHAT found it discriminated well between young children already diagnosed with autism and toddlers from the general population. In a large population screening study due to be published later this year, researchers at the University of Cambridge found that every child who received a research diagnosis of autism scored equal to or greater than 39 on the Q-CHAT at this age. However, the Q-CHAT is not a diagnostic tool and can only help to characterise the extent to which a child may be showing signs of autism at 18 – 30 months of age. If a parent has concerns about their child that relate to autism and their score is 39 or above, please consider making a referral for a neurodevelopmental assessment.
