What this assessment explores
If you've spent your life feeling like you experience the world differently — finding certain social situations exhausting, noticing things others don't, or wondering why some things that seem easy for others have always taken more effort – this assessment is a place to explore that. It looks at how autism can show up in adults, including people who've spent years adapting without ever having a name for why. It's built on the RAADS-R, a validated scale developed specifically for adults.
See the original scaleWhat you can expect
There are 80 questions – this one takes a little longer, and that's by design. The RAADS-R is thorough because autism in adults can be subtle, varied, and easy to miss. It's worth taking your time with it. The questions touch on things like:
- How you experience social situations and relationships
- Sensory sensitivities – to sound, light, texture, or other input
- How you communicate and connect with others
- Patterns in your thinking, interests, or routines
- Experiences that may have felt confusing or hard to explain growing up
Your responses give you a clearer picture of whether your experiences align with patterns commonly associated with autism in adults – it's not a diagnosis, but something that can help you understand yourself more fully.
