Frequently Asked Questions
Is this test a medical diagnosis?
No. This is a screening tool based on validated research instruments. Only a qualified healthcare professional (psychologist, psychiatrist, or neuropsychologist) can diagnose autism spectrum disorder. This test can help you decide whether to seek a professional assessment.
Which scientific tests is this based on?
This screening combines elements from the RAADS-R (Ritvo Autism Asperger Diagnostic Scale - Revised, 97% sensitivity), AQ-10 (Autism Spectrum Quotient), and CAT-Q (Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire). These are among the most widely validated autism screening instruments in clinical research.
Why does the test ask about masking?
Many autistic people, especially women and those diagnosed later in life, develop strategies to hide their autistic traits (camouflaging). Standard screening tools may miss autism in people who mask effectively. The masking section helps detect these hidden traits.
What does gender-aware scoring mean?
Research shows that women and non-binary individuals often score differently on autism screening tools due to higher rates of masking. Gender-aware scoring adjusts thresholds to account for this, reducing the risk of missed identification.
