Aspergers TestFree RAADS-R ScreeningOriginally Designed for Asperger's
The RAADS-R (Ritvo Autism Asperger Diagnostic Scale) was specifically developed to identify Asperger's syndrome in adults. Take our free screening test.
This test is a screening tool and not a diagnostic instrument. Please consult with a qualified healthcare professional for a formal evaluation.
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.'
- •Asperger's is now part of Autism Spectrum Disorder
- •The RAADS-R was designed when Asperger's was a separate diagnosis
- •Your results are equally valid for understanding autism traits
- •Many adults still identify with the Asperger's label

Meaning of RAADS-R Scores
Score interpretation based on Hegarty et al. (2025) research findings
0-64: Below Threshold
Low likelihood of autism. Scores in this range are typical of non-autistic individuals. The 2025 research confirms that scores below 65 have high specificity for ruling out autism spectrum disorder.
65-105: Neurodivergent Signal
Gray zone with lower specificity. Scores in this range may indicate autism traits, but could also reflect ADHD, anxiety disorders, or trauma-related conditions. Further professional evaluation is strongly recommended to differentiate between conditions.
106-139: Consistent with Autism
Strong indication of autism spectrum traits. Research shows specificity returns to 81% at this threshold. Scores in this range are consistent with an autism spectrum profile and warrant professional diagnostic evaluation.
140+: Pronounced Traits
Very high correlation with autism spectrum disorder. False positives are rare at this level. Individuals scoring 140 or above show pronounced autism traits and should consider seeking formal diagnostic assessment.
Maximum Score: 240
The absolute maximum score attainable on the RAADS-R scale. Each of the 80 questions can score 0-3 points.
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.
