Do you ever wonder if you or someone you know might be on the autism spectrum?
Autism Test for Adults
The most recommended tool for assessing ASD is The Ritvo Autism Asperger Diagnostic Scale-Revised (RAADS-R). This test is designed to be administered by a clinician in a clinical setting and as such is of limited use for self-diagnosis. At the very least, take this test with the assistance of someone who knows you well. If you suspect you may have an autism-related disorder such as Asperger’s Syndrome, by all means, take this test but do not rely on the results as absolute proof either way.
