The childhood autism spectrum test (cast) questionnaire designed to help identify potential signs of autism spectrum conditions in children. The questionnaire covers various aspects of a child's development, social interaction, communication skills, and interests. Parents or guardians are asked to answer questions regarding their child's behavior, speech, social interactions, and other relevant factors. The test results can be used as a guide for healthcare professionals to assess the need for further evaluation and support.
