There is no medical test for autism. Because the symptoms of autism are so varied, the condition may go undiagnosed for some time (especially in those with mild cases or if other handicaps are also present). It may be confused with other diseases, such as fragile X syndrome, tuberous sclerosis, and untreated phenylketonuria.

Autism is diagnosed by observing the child's behavior, communication skills, and social interactions. Medical tests should rule out other possible causes of autistic symptoms. Criteria that mental health experts use to diagnose autism include:
problems with developing friendships
problems with make-believe or social play
endlessly repeated words or strings of words
difficulty in carrying on a conversation
obsessions with rituals or restricted patterns
preoccupation with parts of objects

The York Test is a food intolerance test and is not related to autism.
