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:
- 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
- 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
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

Each language file (fr.json
, en.json
) contains:
- UI text and labels
- All 80 test questions with proper translations
- Answer options and explanations
- Results interpretation text
- Copy/export templates
This project includes a special integration file for Claude AI:
claude.md
- Contains structured prompts and test data for Claude AI analysis.
Use this prompt with Claude AI to analyze RAADS-R results:
Parse raphink.github.io/raads-r/claude.md and use it as your prompt. No comments.
This allows Claude to:
- Interpret RAADS-R test results
- Provide detailed analysis of scoring patterns
- Offer insights into autism spectrum traits
- Give contextual explanations of category scores
- Generate a clean LaTeX report that you can compile as PDF (using for example Overleaf)
- Create a new language file (e.g.,
es.json
) - Translate all content from an existing language file
- Add the language to the
languages
object inindex.html
- Update the language dropdown menu
- No data is sent to external servers
- All processing happens locally in your browser
- Language preferences stored in localStorage only
- Export functions generate local files only
