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).
     

    • 14 and above: Scores in this range are considered indicative of possible Autism and may warrant further evaluation by a professional.
       

    • Below 14: Does not necessarily rule out Autism but may suggest fewer traits typically associated with the diagnosis.
