Autism is diagnosed by observation of the known characteristics in a person; there are several checklists and simple activities that can be used to aid this diagnosis either way. However, direct testing of an individual cannot define whether a person has autism or an autistic spectrum disorder, only whether it is not likely, likely or very likely that they do. This is because scientists are still not sure exactly what can and can't cause autism or ASD, and accordingly can't test for something whenthey don't know what to look for.
