Autism Spectrum TestFree RAADS-R AssessmentUnderstand Your Unique Profile
Autism exists on a spectrum. Our free autism spectrum test measures traits across four dimensions, helping you understand your unique neurodivergent profile.
This test is a screening tool and not a diagnostic instrument. Please consult with a qualified healthcare professional for a formal evaluation.
Understanding the Autism Spectrum
Autism isn't a single condition but a spectrum of traits that vary in intensity. The RAADS-R measures four key dimensions:
Social Relatedness
How you navigate social relationships and interactions
Circumscribed Interests
Intensity of focused interests and preference for routines
Language
Communication patterns and literal interpretation
Sensory Motor
Sensory sensitivities and motor coordination
I am a sympathetic person
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.
Autism Spectrum Test FAQ
Understanding the autism spectrum
What is an autism spectrum test?
An autism spectrum test measures traits associated with autism across multiple dimensions. The RAADS-R assesses social, language, sensory, and special interest traits to provide a comprehensive picture of where you might fall on the spectrum.
Is autism really a spectrum?
Yes. Autism is now understood as a spectrum condition where traits vary in type and intensity. Some people may have strong sensory sensitivities but good social skills, while others show the opposite pattern.
What does the autism wheel or spectrum test show?
Our test measures four distinct dimensions of autism traits, giving you a profile rather than a single score. This helps you understand your unique strengths and challenges across different areas.
Can I be 'a little bit autistic'?
Everyone has some autism-related traits. The question is whether these traits significantly impact your life. Scores on a spectrum test help indicate whether formal assessment might be valuable.
Is this autism spectrum quiz free?
Yes, the complete 80-question RAADS-R autism spectrum assessment is free. You receive detailed results across all four dimensions at no cost.
How is this different from other autism tests?
The RAADS-R provides dimensional scoring across four areas rather than a simple pass/fail. This gives you a nuanced understanding of your autism spectrum profile.
