Parents of children with Asperger syndrome can typically trace differences in their children's development to as early as 30 months of age. Developmental screening during a routine check-up by a general practitioner or pediatrician may identify signs that warrant further investigation. The diagnosis of AS is complicated by the use of several different screening instruments, including the Asperger Syndrome Diagnostic Scale (ASDS), Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ), Childhood Asperger Syndrome Test (CAST), Gilliam Asperger’s Disorder Scale (GADS), Krug Asperger’s Disorder Index (KADI),<ref>{{cite journal |journal= J Autism Dev Disord |date=2005 |volume=35 |issue=1 |pages=25–35 |title= Diagnostic assessment of Asperger's disorder: a review of five third-party rating scales |author= Campbell JM |doi=10.1007/s10803-004-1028-4 |pmid=15796119}}</ref> and the [[Autism Spectrum Quotient]] (AQ).<ref>{{cite journal |journal= J Autism Dev Disord |date=2005 |volume=35 |issue=3 |pages=331–5 |title= Screening adults for Asperger Syndrome using the AQ: a preliminary study of its diagnostic validity in clinical practice |author= Woodbury-Smith MR, Robinson J, Wheelwright S, Baron-Cohen S |doi=10.1007/s10803-005-3300-7 |pmid=16119474 |url=http://autismresearchcentre.com/docs/papers/2005_Woodbury-Smith_etal_ScreeningAdultsForAS.pdf|format=PDF}}</ref> None have been shown to reliably differentiate between AS and other ASDs.
