Highly restricted, fixated interest abnormal in intensity or focus. 4. Hyper or hyporeactivity to sensory input or unusual interest in sensory aspects of the environment* Autism can present as regression of social and/or language skills.* The Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers – Revised with Follow-up (MCHAT-R/F) is the most widely known and validated screening tool for autism for ages 16-30 months.
