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.

    Out of curiosity I did one of these tests. I got 34 on Autism Spectrum Quotient, which it says is significant. But to me the questions felt way too generic. I suspect most introverts would score high on this test.

      Yeah, I think all of these tests are aren’t conclusive by themselves. The scores need context and self-awareness.

      This downvote here is what has been mentioned by @backonmyBS@lemmy.world in the toxicity in this community thread. In the post it was asked to post results if someone is comfortable with it so this comment is exactly what contributes to the post.

      Downvote things that don’t contribute, not things you may not agree with.

          It frustrates me so much because you have to figure out for yourself that you might be/are autistic if you want to seek out a diagnosis as an adult. There’s already enough gatekeeping by the medical field, both financially and otherwise. We don’t need to make people second guess if they should even seek an assessment.

    Well, just did a few and it definitely indicates I’m right on the cusp.

              The probability does not seem to correspond directly to the 0–200 scoring range, however. We found that:

              A score of 140 or more results in a 100% probability of being autistic

              A score of 100 results in a probability of 50% probability of being autistic

              A score of 95 results in a 63% probability of being typical (so 37% probability of being autistic)

              Yep, you’re near close to the 100% probability. Have you considered seeking an official diagnosis?
