Terms of Service
1. Acceptance of terms
By downloading, installing or using AutismScreen ("the App"), or by using the free check on this website, you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, please do not use the App or this site.
2. Description of service
AutismScreen is an educational milestone journal and visual support app for parents and caregivers of toddlers aged 16–30 months. It provides tools based on published developmental milestone research to help you record observations and follow your child's developmental progress.
The ten-activity check on this website is a free observation aid. It gives you prompts to try at home and a summary you can copy, print or save. It produces no score and no risk band, and it is not a substitute for the App or for clinical assessment.
3. Medical disclaimer
AutismScreen is not a medical device and does not provide medical diagnoses. The screening tools, observation logs, milestone trackers and generated reports are for educational and informational purposes only. They do not constitute professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
Always seek the advice of a qualified healthcare provider, such as a developmental paediatrician, child psychologist or child neurologist, with any question about your child's medical condition or developmental evaluation. Never disregard professional medical advice, or delay seeking it, because of information provided by this App.
4. Purchases and payments
AutismScreen offers a free tier with basic features and a one-time premium upgrade ("AutismScreen Pro"), sold as a non-consumable in-app purchase. The web check is free and needs no purchase.
- One-time payment. AutismScreen Pro is a single, non-recurring payment. There are no subscriptions and no recurring fees.
- Lifetime access. Once purchased, the Pro features stay unlocked on your account.
- Refunds. Refund requests are handled by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) under their own refund policies. We do not process refunds directly.
- Restore purchases. You can restore a previous purchase on any device with "Restore Purchase" in the App.
5. User conduct
You agree to use the App only for its intended purpose, which is tracking your child's developmental progress. You may not:
- Reverse-engineer, decompile or disassemble the App
- Attempt to circumvent any security feature or payment mechanism
- Use the App for any unlawful or harmful purpose
- Redistribute, resell or sublicense any part of the App
6. Intellectual property

7. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, AutismScreen and its developers are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, use or goodwill, resulting from:
- Your use of, or inability to use, the App or this website
- Any reliance on the results or content provided
- Any delay or failure in seeking professional medical evaluation
Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
8. Changes to terms
