📋 About the RAADS-R

The Ritvo Autism Asperger Diagnostic Scale - Revised is a clinical assessment tool designed to identify autism spectrum traits in adults. It consists of 80 questions across four key areas:

Categories

  • Social Interactions (IS) - Social communication and relationship difficulties
  • Sensory Motor (SM) - Sensory processing and motor coordination issues
  • Restricted Interests (IR) - Repetitive behaviors and focused interests
  • Language (L) - Communication and language processing challenges

Scoring

  • 0-24: No significant autistic traits
  • 25-64: Some autistic traits, likely not ASD
  • 65-89: Minimum threshold for autism consideration
  • 90-129: Strong indication of ASD
  • 130-159: Solid evidence of ASD (average autistic adult score)
  • 160+: Very strong evidence of ASD

⚠️ Important Disclaimer

This tool is for screening purposes only and should not be used for self-diagnosis.

  • Only qualified healthcare professionals can provide an official autism diagnosis
  • If results suggest autistic traits, consult a psychiatrist, psychologist, or specialized physician
  • The RAADS-R is one component of a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation
