R7Have the things that seriously worried you or someone else now cleared up completely?
R8Could s/he use any real words other than ‘mama’ or ‘dada’ before the age of 2 years?
R9After using single words, children go on to join them up into phrases or short sentences
like ‘Go park see ducks’ or ‘Mama give biscuits’. Did [Name] join words together into phrases or short sentences before the age of 3 years?

R10Toddlers often communicate through physical gestures such as waving goodbye, pointing to things, blowing a kiss, or bringing a finger to their mouth and saying Shh! When s/he was a toddler, did [Name] use these sorts of gestures as much as other children of the same age?
R11Some children like playing nursery games like Ring a Ring a Roses, Round and Round the Garden, Peekaboo or Peepo. Did [Name] ever like these games?
R12Young children often try to share their enjoyment or interests or achievements, for example by pointing out something that they think you will enjoy seeing or find interesting. As a toddler and young child, did [Name] want to share his/her enjoyment, interests or achievements with other people?
R13Some children spend a lot of their play time repeating the same action over and over again, for example spinning the wheels on a toy car, turning taps or light switches on and off, or opening and shutting doors. Has this ever been true of him/her?
R14Children are sometimes very interested in unusual aspects of toys or other things. For example, rather than playing with a toy, they may spend their time sniffing it, or running their
fingers over its surface, or holding it to their face to feel any vibration that it makes. Has this ever been true of him/her?

R15Make-believe play is important to some children. This can include pretend games with other children – games such as cops and robbers, or mummies and daddies. Even when they are by themselves, children may act out stories with dolls, action men or make-believe objects.
If aged under 11: As a preschool child and more recently, has [Name] taken part in make-believe play?
If aged 11 or more: Thinking about when s/he was younger (say between 5 and 10), did [Name] take part in make-believe play?

R16If aged under 11: At present, can [Name] make allowances according to who s/he is playing with? For example, not being too rough when playing with younger children, and not being too bossy when playing with older children.
If aged 11 or more: When s/he was younger (say around 10), could [Name] make allowances according to who s/he was playing with? For example, not being too rough when playing with younger children, and not being too bossy when playing things with older children.

R17When s/he’s with other children/teenagers, does s/he have difficulty taking turns, sharing or co-operating?
R18Some children/teenagers enjoy putting a lot of time into collecting things, or get a lot of pleasure out of focusing on just one topic, such as sport, cars or a particular pop group. In everyday language, we often say that these children/teenagers are ‘obsessed’ by their interest, but this is not an unpleasant obsession – this is something they like and usually enjoy talking about. Has [Name] had any long-lasting obsessions of this sort?
R19Obsessions may be about common or unusual topics. For example, it is fairly common for an 8 year old to be obsessed by dinosaurs, but it is unusual for an 8 year old to be obsessed by Victorian fireplaces, bar codes or street lamps. Is or was the topic of his/her obsession unusual?
R20Does or did the obsession dominate his/her life?
R21Does or did it tend to dominate his/her conversation with other people? 
R22Does or did it stop him/her doing other important things in
his/her life, such as playing, studying or going out?

R23Please describe the obsession:
R24Is [Name] able to start conversations with other people?
R25If other people start conversations with him/her, can [Name] keep the conversation going?
R26Is [Name] genuinely interested in chatting with other people
in order to hear what they have to say about their experiences and interests – even if those interests are different from his/her own interests?

R27Some children/teenagers have trouble adjusting their language to suit different social occasions. For example they may speak too casually to a teacher or too formally to other children. Does [Name] change the way s/he speaks according to whether it is a formal or informal situation?
R28It is relatively easy to tell what some children/teenagers are feeling by observing their facial expressions, their tone of voice and their body language. It is harder to tell with other children/teenagers, particularly if you don’t know them very well. Do most people have difficulty knowing what [Name] is feeling by observing his/her face, body language or tone of
voice? 

R29The other way round, children/teenagers vary in their ability to know what other people are feeling. Some children/ teenagers are good at recognising subtle clues in body language, facial expressions, or tone of voice. For example, they can immediately tell when their mother is starting to get a little cross, or when another child/teenager is feeling a bit embarrassed. Other children/teenagers find this much harder. Does [Name] have difficulty recognising the clues in other people’s facial expressions, body language and tone of voice?
R30When we’re talking with someone face-to-face, eye contact is very important. It generally makes us feel uneasy, or as if there’s something wrong, if the other person makes too little eye contact, or too much, or makes it at the wrong time. Has [Name] ever been through a phase of making too little or too much eye contact, or making it in the wrong sort of way?
R31Many young children go through a phase of repeating what someone has just said to them. For example, if you said, “We’ll be going home in a few minutes”, they might parrot back “We’ll be going home in a few minutes”. Or they might echo back the last word, “minutes”, in your tone of voice. Some young people do this a lot. Has [Name] ever echoed or parroted speech in this way?
R32Some children/teenagers ask the same questions over and over again. For example, “When are we going to the park?” or “What’s for dinner?” or “Are we going swimming this weekend?” They keep repeating these questions even though they’ve already been told the answers many times. The questions that are repeated may not be exactly the same from week to week. Has [Name] ever tended to ask repetitive questions?
R33Another way in which young people repeat themselves is by using the same catch-phrase or cliché over and over again. For example, almost every sentence may begin “If you want my opinion …” or “Logically speaking …” Occasionally the phrase is appropriate, but it is used far more than is really needed. Has [Name] ever filled his/her speech with these fairly empty catch-phrases or clichés?
R34Some children enjoy routines and want things to be the same every day. For example, they may want to eat the same food off the same plate while sitting in the same chair every single day. Or there may be very fixed routines for dressing or undressing. Has [Name] ever had strong or unusual routines that s/he has insisted on because s/he enjoyed doing it that way?
R35Please describe the routines
R36Some children are easily upset by small changes in their routines. For example, they may be very upset by having to go to school a different way, by having to take a bath at a slightly different time, or by the furniture being moved around. Has [Name] ever been easily upset by changes in routine?
R37Some preschool children go through a phase of flapping or waving their hands or arms up and down if they are excited or upset. Some continue doing this for years. Since [Name] has been going to school, has s/he tended to flap his/her arms when excited or upset?
R38You have answered a lot of questions about his/her pattern of development – focusing particularly on language, play, routines and his/her ability to get along with other people. Are you concerned at present about any of these aspects of his/her development?
R39Thinking about the last 12 months, have difficulties in any of the areas that we have covered resulted in him/her becoming upset or distressed?
R40aHave difficulties with language, routines, play, or social ability interfered with…  how well s/he gets on with you and the rest of the family?
R40bHave difficulties with language, routines, play, or social ability interfered with… making and keeping friends?
R40cHave difficulties with language, routines, play, or social ability interfered with… learning or class work?
R40dHave difficulties with language, routines, play, or social ability interfered with… playing, hobbies, sports or other leisure activities?
R41Have these difficulties put a burden on you or the family as a whole?
R42Some children’s development is unusual from birth onwards. With hindsight, their parents realise that development was never quite normal. That’s not always the case, though. Sometimes parents are sure that development was completely normal for a while and then there was a relatively sudden change. Which was true for him/her?
R43How old was [Name] when this change happened?
