A thorough list of scientifically based assessments with descriptions and ability to complete and score. One of my favorite things about a few of these test is that they show that the spectrum isn’t a continuum, but more of a web of traits that are on separate but related continua.

Feel free to share your scores to engage in discussion!

Note: A self-assessment is not sufficient to properly assess autism. These assessments can provide helpful insight, but a proper assessment includes at least a thorough interview by a licensed mental health professional that specializes in autism assessment.

    Well, just did a few and it definitely indicates I’m right on the cusp.

    I took as many of these as I could a few weeks ago in preparation for a doctor visit. While not medically useful, it helped a lot in clarifying where the suspicions are strong and where they are weak. If I had been more vague, I’d have been placed in the general queue where waiting times are years if they even feel they can spare the resources to talk to you (which they did not the last two times). Now I have chance to be assessed, so fingers crossed.

        Well, the ASD was pretty much in line with any other screening tool, but I had honestly expected at least one of them to score me closer to the low range, given that I manage well day-to-day.

        For ADHD I am mostly relieved it didn’t indicate any, mostly because it would complicate my assessment attempts haha.

        I was a bit surprised that my score for OCD was so low, because I struggled intensely with that as a child.

      Well betond the autism threshold! Below are my results when I took it a few months ago. The social relatedness really hit home. I’ve had so much difficulty with that, so it’s a bit validating to know I’m not making it up.

    Out of curiosity I did one of these tests. I got 34 on Autism Spectrum Quotient, which it says is significant. But to me the questions felt way too generic. I suspect most introverts would score high on this test.

      Yeah, I think all of these tests are aren’t conclusive by themselves. The scores need context and self-awareness.

              The probability does not seem to correspond directly to the 0–200 scoring range, however. We found that:

              A score of 140 or more results in a 100% probability of being autistic

              A score of 100 results in a probability of 50% probability of being autistic

              A score of 95 results in a 63% probability of being typical (so 37% probability of being autistic)

              Yep, you’re near close to the 100% probability. Have you considered seeking an official diagnosis?
