About the test:

• The RAADS-14 is a brief, self-administered questionnaire designed to assess internal experiences often associated with Autism, rather than focusing solely on outward behaviors.

  • It is particularly useful for helping distinguish Autism from other conditions with overlapping traits, such as:

    • Bipolar Disorder

    • PTSD

    • Social Anxiety

  • 14 Questions​

​​

Who It’s For:

• Adults (18+) who suspect they may be autistic or want a clearer picture of their neurotype.
   

Duration:

• Approximately 3–5 minutes
   

What It Measures:

• The RAADS-14 explores internal cognitive and emotional patterns often reported by autistic individuals, such as:
   

  • Difficulty understanding social cues

  • Sensory sensitivities

  • Preference for routine

  • Challenges with emotional reciprocity
     

Score Interpretation

• The total possible score is 42 (14 items scored from 0 to 3).
