This test features questions and answers from the Ritvo Autism Asperger Diagnotic Scale-Revised (RAADS-R) test, an examination used to determine traits commonly found in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The actual RAADS-R test is much longer and will provide a different score. While this is not a definitive test for ASD (no single test is), it can be a good means to start a conversation with your clinician or therapist to see about getting diagnosed, and some psychiatrists and psychologists use this as part of a test battery for their patients. It was the RAADS-R which got me researching ASD and realizing I was autistic, especially since I scored 192 points. Overall, the test on this app is valid, though rather abbreviated. I recommend it.

I’m not on the spectrum! But I might be.

I love the app however I think there need to be more range of options because it’s not so black & white, there are grey areas so we need more options. Good app to confirm suspicion though.

I’ve now been taken my the cpa

The answer options create an all-or-nothing scenario for behaviors that are true but not true 100% of the time. Some of the questions have never occurred to me, like, am I uncomfortable in social situations: it depends on the situation! Some questions suggest that an affirmative answer means that the response is true 100% of the time, but the truth is, some of the answers are true some of the times and not true at other times

It’s just the RAADs test you can find anywhere. I realize it’s a free app, but it then redirects you to their paid journal CBT app (which I don’t have a big problem with) and the better help website. I haven’t tried their other app, but why better help? People wondering whether or not they’re autistic are very vulnerable and better help has had some controversy around them. I would recommend people to find an actual therapist or psychologist and give them directions on how to do so.

I feel that many of the questions did not offer the answer which best describes me. I felt like I fall in between the gaps; however I do think the results reflect tendencies.

Me not have autism but me frend do. Me like no hav autistic. Autistic no. Not auutimistic yes.

This test is based completely off of male presentation - if you are a female or suspect that a female you love is on the spectrum, please look into FEMALE-SPECIFIC resources
