A Note on Terminology
While 'Asperger's syndrome' is still commonly searched, it was merged into 'Autism Spectrum Disorder' in the DSM-5 (2013). What was called Asperger's is now part of the autism spectrum, often referred to as 'Level 1 autism' or 'autism without intellectual disability.'

51-90: Moderate Signs
Enhanced signs of autism, though scores this high can also be found in non-autistic individuals
91-130: Strong Likelihood
Average score among individuals with autism, indicating a strong likelihood of autism
131-227: Clear Indication
Overwhelming evidence pointing towards autism. 227 is the highest score recorded in the foundational RAADS-R study
Maximum Score: 240
The absolute maximum score attainable on the RAADS-R scale
Aspergers Test FAQ
Questions about Asperger's syndrome testing
Is there still an Aspergers test?
Yes. While Asperger's was merged into autism spectrum disorder in 2013, the RAADS-R ('Ritvo Autism Asperger Diagnostic Scale') was designed when Asperger's was a distinct diagnosis and remains the gold standard for identifying these traits in adults.
What's the difference between Aspergers and autism?
Historically, Asperger's was diagnosed in people with autism traits but no intellectual disability or language delay. Today, this would be called 'Level 1 autism' or 'autism without intellectual disability.'
Is this Aspergers test free?
Yes, our RAADS-R assessment is completely free. The test was designed to identify what was then called Asperger's syndrome in adults and remains highly effective for autism screening.
Can adults have Aspergers?
Absolutely. Many adults with what would have been called Asperger's weren't diagnosed in childhood, often due to developing coping mechanisms. The RAADS-R is specifically designed to identify autism traits in adults.
Why do people still search for 'Aspergers test'?
Many adults relate to the Asperger's label from their own research or prior informal diagnosis. The RAADS-R covers these exact traits, making it ideal whether you search for 'autism' or 'Asperger's' testing.
Is Aspergers the same as high-functioning autism?
These terms overlap significantly. Both refer to autism without intellectual disability. However, 'high-functioning' is falling out of favor as it can minimize real challenges. 'Level 1 autism' is the current clinical term.
