Early Signs
Does Any of This Sound Familiar?
These are common early indicators families notice. You don't need to check every box — even one or two signs is a good reason to book a free screening.
💬
Limited Speech or Delay
Not babbling by 12 months, no words by 16 months, or losing speech skills already developed.
👁️
Reduced Eye Contact
Avoids eye contact, seems to look through people, or rarely responds to their name.
🔄
Repetitive Behaviors
Repeated movements (rocking, flapping, spinning), strict routines, or intense focus on specific objects.
🤝
Social Challenges
Difficulty playing with other children, limited interest in sharing activities, or prefers to play alone.
🌊
Sensory Sensitivities
Over- or under-reaction to sounds, textures, lights, or touch. Unusual food preferences or aversions.
📅
Need for Sameness
Extreme distress when routines change. Gets very upset by small disruptions to the expected order of events.
🎭
Limited Imaginative Play
Prefers to line up toys rather than play imaginatively, or plays with objects in unusual ways.
😰
Emotional Dysregulation
Intense meltdowns, difficulty transitioning between activities, or unusual emotional responses to situations.
Early Intervention is Key
The earlier, the better — research is clear
Children who receive early support show significantly better outcomes in language, social skills, and independence.
The brain is most adaptable in the first 3–5 years of life — early screening opens the door to timely support.
Families who attend Chill Act Expo screenings leave with a clear plan — resources, providers, and next steps for their city.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything families want to know before booking.
Is this really free — no hidden fees?

Yes, completely free. The pre-screening, the specialist appointment at the expo, and all resources you receive are 100% free. Chill Act Expo is funded by sponsors and exhibitors so that families never pay a dime.
What age is the screening for?
+
Our screening is designed for children ages 18 months through 12 years. If your child is outside this range, speak with our team — we may still be able to help or point you to appropriate resources.
Is this an official autism diagnosis?
+
No. This is a pre-screening, not a clinical diagnosis. Only a licensed psychologist or medical professional can formally diagnose autism. Our goal is to give you a clearer picture and help you take informed next steps.
Who conducts the in-person appointment?

Appointments are conducted by board-certified developmental pediatricians, behavioral analysts (BCBAs), licensed psychologists, or developmental therapists — all with verified credentials and experience working with neurodivergent children.
What if I can't make my booked time slot?
+
No problem. Slots are flexible at the expo — walk-in appointments are available on a first-come basis on the day of the event. We always do our best to accommodate every family.
How is my child's data protected?
+
Your child's screening data is stored securely and never shared with third parties, advertisers, or insurance companies. Results are only visible to you and, during the expo, your specialist with your consent.
My child already has a diagnosis — should I still come?
+
Absolutely. The expo is a fantastic resource for families who already have a diagnosis. Our specialists can help with next steps, provider connections, advocacy resources, IEP guidance, and much more.
