Free website set up to help parents spot signs of autism in children (Channel NewsAsia)
By Channel NewsAsia's US Correspondent Steve Mort | Posted: 12 January 2008 1256 hrs

The developers said the aim is not for parents to self-diagnose, but to help them decide if they need to consult a specialist.
