raads-r test

RAADS-R Test Online is a private, browser-first self-reflection tool inspired by the RAADS-R (Ritvo Autism Asperger Diagnostic Scale-Revised). It is designed for adults and older teens (16+) who want to explore autism-related traits in a structured, non-judgmental way without immediately involving a clinician or creating an account. By adapting all 80 statements from the original RAADS-R framework into a clear online format, the site offers an accessible starting point for understanding patterns in social connection, communication, sensory experiences, and focused interests.

The test produces a total score ranging from 0 to 240, as well as four domain scores: Social Relatedness, Language, Sensory-Motor, and Circumscribed Interests. Before starting, users can review a score guide that explains how different ranges are commonly interpreted, from results that are generally not consistent with autism to scores that strongly suggest pronounced autistic traits. These groupings are presented as screening references only, not as a formal diagnosis, and the site encourages users to integrate the results with their own history and, when relevant, professional input.

A core emphasis of RAADS-R Test Online is privacy and user control. Basic scoring is calculated in the browser, so users can see their total and domain scores without signing up, creating an account, or sharing their answers. If someone opts in to additional features—such as email delivery of results or an optional paid, AI-powered personalized report—the site stores only the minimum information needed to provide those services. The privacy policy and terms are clearly linked, reinforcing the tool’s focus on transparent data handling.

The assessment itself is straightforward: users respond to 80 statements about their experiences, choosing from options such as whether a statement is true now, true only in childhood, or never true. Example items include whether someone feels sympathetic, tends to speak too loudly or softly without noticing, relies on movie quotes in conversation, or focuses on details more than the overall picture. After completing the test, users receive immediate feedback and can reflect on how different domains contribute to their overall score. For those who want to go further, an optional AI-powered analysis can help contextualize the results by linking traits to everyday strengths, challenges, and potential next steps, making RAADS-R Test Online a supportive companion for self-understanding rather than a diagnostic endpoint.
