For families · Before any diagnosis

You're not imagining it. You know your child better than anyone.

If a quiet voice keeps telling you something is different, you don't need a diagnosis to start paying attention. This is a gentle, private checklist — not a test, not a verdict — to help you put words to what you're already noticing.

Nothing here is a diagnosis, and nothing here is a score. This won't tell you your child "has" or "doesn't have" anything. Only a qualified professional can do that. What this can do is help you trust your own eyes — and show you one calm, free next step if you want it. Your child is whole and wonderful exactly as they are, whatever this turns out to be.

First, roughly how old is your child? (This just tailors which signs we show — it changes nothing about your child.)
