Dear Concerned Parent or Parent-to-be, START HERE. Take five minutes to complete our complimentary Autism Risk Review. Determine your risk level and learn some simple changes you can make in your environment and lifestyle right away. In designing this questionnaire, I’ve incorporated known and suspected risk factors identified from my years of experience working with families, and in the medical literature. It is designed to be sensitive, and to help guide parents toward changes in their lifestyle which will increase the chances of a healthy pregnancy. PLEASE NOTE: This assessment is NOT designed to diagnose, predict autism risk or substitute for medical care. Instead it is intended to educate and help you address important changes to help you grow a healthy child. - John Green MD Please enter your Email ID before starting the quiz: Email Name 1.
