Overall ASQ Score
Interpretation:
Alex's responses on the ASQ highlight distinctive patterns in their social interactions, communication, imagination, and
attention to detail. While these responses suggest potential autism-related traits, a comprehensive assessment is
essential for a comprehensive view.
Domain-specific Scores
Social Interaction
Alex's responses in this domain indicate a preference for solitary activities and a tendency to find social interactions
challenging. They might benefit from learning social skills and strategies to navigate various social situations.
Communication
In the communication domain, Alex's responses reveal variations in their communication patterns. They could have
strengths in certain areas like written communication but may find verbal communication more challenging. Speech
therapy and alternative communication methods may be explored.
Imagination
Alex's imagination domain responses indicate a strong imaginative tendency, which might manifest in creative interests
and activities. However, they could experience challenges in understanding and relating to others' imaginative
perspectives.
Attention to Detail
Responses in this domain show that Alex excels in noticing small details. This could contribute to strengths in tasks that
require precision, but they might find it challenging to process larger contextual information.
Recommendations
Comprehensive Evaluation:
A comprehensive assessment by autism specialists, involving observations and standardized

assessments, is crucial to gain deeper insights into Alex's strengths and areas of need.
Support and Interventions
Based on the assessment results, tailored interventions should be designed. Alex could benefit from
social skills training, speech therapy, and sensory regulation techniques to enhance their overall
well-being.
Educational Accommodations
In an educational setting, offering accommodations such as a quiet space for focus, clear
communication strategies, and visual aids could optimize Alex's learning experience.
Family Support and Resources
Alex's family is encouraged to connect with autism support networks, therapists, and educators to
gather information and strategies for fostering Alex's development in a supportive manner.
