SCQ

Completed by the PARENT or main caregiver about the child's behaviors (age ≥4, mental age ≥2). The 'Lifetime' version considers development across the entire lifespan; the 'Current' version considers the last 3 months. ASD screener — not diagnostic. A score ≥15 suggests referral for specialist evaluation (ADI-R, ADOS-2). Clinical orientation adaptation.
