RAADS-R Test for Autism

Post Reply New Topic

I scored a 143. I don't have tactile issues so much as auditory issues. Along those lines, I don't mind intimate touch either. I do care how my clothes feel on my body and tend to wear a few 'uniforms' as my go-to favs for comfort.

I scored 160

Didn't really like the continual distinction between adult life and being under 16. It didn't make any difference in most cases, though occasionally it was relevant.

I scored 188, although it seemed overly simplistic to me. It's like somebody asking me if I am autistc and me replying yes.

Haha. That is exactly what I felt like while testing: an egghead professor asking the autist rote, stereotypical questions and expecting them to be able to answer them. Instead of asking from the point of view of us. I really struggled on some questions because I knew the mind and heart of what the question was getting at, but might not have felt it in the way asked. So do I answer it straight or through an interpretive lens? For example, the clothing questions. I very much choose clothes that are stretchy, and cover and contain my body well in a comfortable way. I don't like thinking much about it and am happiest if I have a few 'uniforms' to wear. Texture of materials bothers me some but not much. I know that is an autistic thing both ways. My mother had this thing about her bras whereby she had to actually sew in a piece of soft material to keep her bra strap from bothering her. She complained about it all the time it seemed like. Now I realize she is probably on the spectrum, which explains a lot about why she was a poor mother at many things. I am a poor mother at many things too. I also have been chastised by close friends/clients for not remembering the names of their babies or husbands, etc. Or for not really following social mores for interaction, ceremonies, etc. Is it my INTPness or my aspieness? Hard to know.

I’m sure mine was in the 190s and I’ve posted it before but I don’t know how to search back using my phone.

Are we referring to the spiderweb one?

I must be thinking of a different test since this one only went up to 200.

I did RAADS in assessment and it said my score was consistent with autistic women. It doesn’t tell me my score in the report.

* Special thanks to my technical department.

Oh, I remember taking that one but it's lost on an old laptop in the county dump. I really liked that one. Can anyone find the link to that one again?

It’s called the RDOS or Aspie Quiz.

There are links online but most of them don’t make the spiderweb anymore.

That was my old one on a screenshot.

Oh darn. I just wanted it for the spiderweb effect haha

I created a thread about my "low" score some months ago and didn't get too much of a response. I don't recall my "Aspie score," but the compiled result was something like "broad range mix of NT and Aspie" or something like that. The graph was half-and-half. I was disappointed. My score for NT was two points MORE than my Aspie score. So I'm thinking like 124 or something like that. Yet whenever someone here gives their score, it's SO HIGH. I have a clinical dx of ASD. Doesn't ANYONE here, with a clinical dx, have a half-and-half RAADS score? I don't like being a hybrid. I want to be a pure-bred Autistic.

I didn’t notice there was a link to the RAADS test in the OP. I actually know Natalie although she’s not the person who diagnosed me. I just did the test from her link and got 219 out of a possible 227.



My diagnostic report for RAADS said I was consistent with other autistic women but it didn’t show my score.

I’m diagnosed at Level 2 ASD so maybe that explains my high numbers on all the various tests.

I had a 195. Sensory and motor issues led for me.

No. This is not the spiderweb

I scored 168 but I think some of the questions were unanswerable and not quite applicable.

I just took the Aspie quiz again. That's the spiderweb one. The last time I had taken it was ten years ago. Ten years ago, my aspie score was 138 out of 200 and my nt score was 95 out of 200. Today my aspie score was 153 out of 200 and my nt score was 67 out of 200.
