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.

    How do you feel about your score?

    For me, I got a 42. On one hand, I finally feel like I have an explanation for why I never “fit” in and felt like I was never meant for this world. On the other hand, I feel a little sad about this and, in a way, wish it was something else. But I can’t quite figure out why. I need to keep ruminating on this.

      I feel kinda relieved. Autism would be an explanation why so many things that seem obvious to others, seem so weird or different to me. Of course I know that tests and self-evaluation doesn’t mean you necessarily have it, but I have been told before by a mental health professional, that I might be autistic. I should definetly look into it more with a professional.
