About This Test

This free online autism spectrum test is for adults who want a quick check of autism symptoms and autistic traits. In under two minutes, you will rate how often you experience differences in social communication, sensory processing, routines, special interests and flexibility. Your score highlights likely trait levels and the signs of the autism spectrum that can affect study, work, relationships and daily life.

Use your result as a practical starting point. If your score is higher, consider a professional autism spectrum assessment. If it is lower, small changes, sensory strategies, clearer routines, and support for executive function—can still help. Because presentations vary, your guidance notes common adult patterns such as masking autism, autism in women, PDA autism (pathological demand avoidance) and terms some people still search like high functioning autism. This tool cannot diagnose ASD; only a qualified clinician can. It gives you a clear snapshot so you can decide whether to seek evaluation, start self-care, or retake the autism spectrum quiz to track progress over time. You can also explore condition pages such as what is autism and autism spectrum symptoms to plan next steps.

How the test works

You rate how often you experience social-communication differences, sensory sensitivities, strong interests, need for routine and flexibility challenges. Scores map to trait bands (lower to higher) and suggest next steps: self-help strategies, workplace or study adjustments, and when to seek a full autism spectrum assessment. You can retake this autism self-assessment to track progress.

Scientific basis

Items mirror features found in validated adult ASD screeners widely used for autism in adults, such as short Autism-Spectrum Quotient formats (AQ-10/AQ) that supports screening and monitoring. This tool aids recognition, but diagnosis requires a clinical interview and developmental history.
