Autism and ADHD Self-Assessments

  • Autism Spectrum Quiz

    The autism spectrum encompasses a range of neurodevelopmental conditions, all pointing to the presence of disorders such as classic autism, Asperger's syndrome, or Rett's syndrome. However, there is considerable variation in the type and severity of the symptoms. This test combines the insights of several prior efforts to research the autism spectrum to bring you a single, composite test measuring autism spectrum occurrences across 10 different domains. Where do you fall on the autism spectrum?

  • Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ)

  • Ritvo Autism Diagnostic Scale (RAADS-14)

    The RAADS-14 is a shortened version of the 80-question RAADS-R autism screening test. The 14-question RAADS-14 is intended to be a quick screening tool for clinicians, much like the AQ-10. The RAADS-14 is a tool for clinicians to differentiate between autism and other psychiatric diagnoses whose traits might make an autism diagnosis in adults more difficult.

  • Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRSv1.1)

    The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1) Symptom Checklist is an instrument consisting of the eighteen DSM-IV TR criteria. Six of the eighteen questions were found to be the most predictive of symptoms consistent with ADHD. The ASRS-v1.1 Symptom Checklist was developed in conjunction with the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Workgroup on Adult ADHD which included a team of psychiatrists and researchers.
