#raads autism test

petition to add a fifth category of answer to the RAADS-R Autism test for "I do not know how to answer this question // The premise of this question is highly flawed"

#i retook the test recently to prove to my friends who think i'm autistic that the result i got last time was only cuz i was drunk #and then i got an even higher score this time when sober #but #so many of these questions are so hard to answer #i do not understand the question #this question does not make sense #why can't you rank how strongly you agree with the question #i hate the answer options they used so fucking much #they make no sense #also i can't remember like 90% of my childhood so that makes it extra fucking hard #anyways #im still not completely convinced that im autistic #but my fixation on the scoring and answer options is not a good sign for my whole “i swear i don't have autism” theorem #lmao #RAADS R #raads autism test #raads-r #autism #raads r autism test

I took the RAADS-R test. I got 175. This means I have strong evidence of having autism. This was previously known.

The thoughts i had while taking the test can be summed up quickly and efficiently. There were many of them, though. (I did not like taking the test)

These thoughts were:

There is no nuance here.

But what about xyz? This is true sometimes but not always?

What do you define xyz as? (This was often when they said “normal” or brought up relationships)

THERE IS NO NUANCE.

Long story short, it caused me lots of stress because I didn’t have enough information on the questions. But I have heard that that lends more evidence into the “having autism” category, so that’s something.

@olliesprettylame if you get a lower score than me I’m making fun of you

Here’s the test I did if y’all wanna take it

So question to anyone that might see this. At one point is the self diagnosis just accepted by the community I cannot afford the testing. I've done so much research and so many tests. I just feel insecure like I'm being weird about this.

me as an undiagnosed but obviously autistic kid compulsively sorting all of the chocolate bars in the grocery store: hey is this normal

my mum, also undiagnosed but obviously autistic: yeah it's just a fun quirk don't worry about it

#autism #ive finally gotten her to do the raads r test and she's like okay MAYBE i might have it

[antirepurp]

he had such sad eyes

#jjba #jotaro kujo #stardust crusaders #purp doot #did autism tests and got to thinking abt the autistic king himself #my raads-r was 160 btw and in another one i got 8/10 points #and their advice was to consider seeing someone if you score 6 or more #so y'know that's interesting lmao

[eepybubble]

why do autism tests make their questions so confusing bro if i'm autistic i'm not gonna understand

#i had to look up what a couple questions meant and it literally didn't help #like compassionate means someone who expresses compassion thanks i got that far 👍 #anyway i got 132 on the raads test again #last time i got 143 #both are still strong evidence for autism so lowkey idk #i was trying to be more honest if that makes sense #like last time i was in the middle of a lot of research which might have affected my answers idk #borf barks

How do you help your friend out of the denial stage of learning they’re most likely autistic?

#took the raads test #got a score of 179 #that’s higher than what I got as an officially diagnosed person #they literally only have neurodiverse friends #and they’re like ‘I’m not autistic’ #without providing a valid argument as to how (literally only says ‘because I’m not’ in response) #and it’s like #bro #autistic #probably the autism #autism #self diagnosed autism

#i made a supremely shitty meme #i spent like 4 minutes on this thing tops #anyways #yeah #in other news #im realizing that im like actually autistic #i don't know why this is such a shock to me #but by god it is #entire world view has been shattered and shifted #like dammnnn #i might still have ocd but like damn sis autism would explain like 90% of it too #wow #bro #i cannot express enough how much this has shaken me #lmao #autism #thanks raads-r autism test #my friends bullied me into finally taking it #and then i took it again to disprove that i was autistic #and scored even higher the second time #RIP #idk if i can really talk my way out of that 125 #don't mind me im just oversharing in the tags as per usual

date night idea: go out to eat and you both take the RAADS-R test and compare scores

#queue the fuck #autism #RAADS-R test #audhd

[starsandwriting]

Love taking the raads test for that good ol validation. Scored 152 this time

#raads #autistic #tho the phrasing of that test is still annoying and vague #I COULD INTERPRET YOUR STATEMENT 6 DIFFERENT WAYS #ELABORATE ON YOUR MEANING. GIVE ME CONCRERE EXAMPLES #YOU ARE MAKING A TEST FOR AUTISTIC PEOPLE #also still so funny to me that the threshold for autism is 65. literally how. #myar

[that-local-punk-kid]

not me taking the raad-r test and being like

?????what the fuck?? what does that mean??? where's the maybe option, where's my kind of, where's my bothered and upset but not confused????????? how am I supposed to remember how things were when I was a kid??

and yet still getting a score that said "well you might be autistic, might be not"

I KNEW THAT, THAT'S WHY I TOOK THE TEST AND I JUST GOT MORE CONFUSED!

#raad-r #autism test #autism #made me more confused tbh #so #am i autistic or not #neurodivergent

[autisticandhyperfixatingg]

So I got 64 on the raads test... Like EXCUSE YOU?!??!

I'm literally DIAGNOSED, tf u mean not autistic?????

And the questions were so weird to like?? Of course I CAN physically stop myself from talking about my special interests, of course I CAN talk about something else if I HAVE TO. That doesn't mean that I WANT to do it?!?!

Hmm, would I rather go to a quiet museum of a concert🤔 Given that I enjoy music more than most museum-thingies, I'd have to pick the music one??

But really tho WHICH CONSERT?? WHICH MUSEUM???? WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE?!?!????! (Like if it's the Doctor who museum I'm DEFINITELY going!!)

Anyway, the raads test is stupid, I am still very much autistic, thank u for coming to my Ted talk!

Y'know, for being a test designed for autistic people to take and self-score, the RAADS test sure has confusing language

I thought there should be a "I don't understand the question enough to answer (because I'm taking the question and answer too literally)" button at least 8 times, and the test has 80 questions total

The test: do you use [the analogy of] a stack of notecards or a filing cabinet and flip through them to recall your memories in your head?

Me: No, I don't do that! [can't remember how I do recall memories]

The test: Do you feel similar emotions as the characters when you're watching a TV show or movie?

Me: Sometimes? Like I don't really get it when people are straight or very emotionally stable, but like, I guess I do other times

The test: I only talk to people who share my speciifc special interests

Me: kind of, but no? I like talking to people who know about brain weirdness and queerness more, but I do talk to straight people and strangers when I need to. If I only talked to people who were only interested in what I'm interested in, I wouldn't ever talk to anyone else about niche books I like

The test: how food feels in my mouth is more important than flavor to me

Me: No!! Because if it's a bad flavor that I can't stand (i.e. peppers) that's very important and I can't eat it. Checkmate ✅😎 [emoji description: green checkmark and sunglasses emoji]

The test: I get highly confused when someone interrupts me when I am talking about something I am very interested in.

Me: Do I? I don't know if I do. I guess I don't think about getting confused, because the point gets across that they're trying to talk about something else at the moment and that that means I'm supposed to stop talking about my thing

The test: I have a normal rhythm when I speak

Me: Now what the hell is this all about? Is this something I should be aware of? Is this something people comment on in normal conversation that I'm not aware of?? Do I possibly have a normal speech rhythm and no one has thought to mention it to me??

The test: I can make small talk with people

Me: Yeah I can, but like, it feels like nails scraping on a chalkboard, so does that count? I physically am able to do it but I much prefer not to

Me: Much of my experience with autism is being able to do social and psychological things and burning myself out, and figuring things out from many years of watching people, and preferring to not to do things that cause burnout, but I'm unsure how to stop doing them at this point. That's kind of my whole problem about this, actually

The test: I can tell when someone says one thing but means something else.

Me: what 👏 is 👏 this 👏 all 👏 about 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏? [emoji description: hand clapping emojis between each word and several at the end of the sentence] If this means 'I can tell when someone doesn't want to be talking to me currently', then yes, absolutely. If this means sarcasm, I can figure it out most of the time based on other context clues. If this means someone being passive aggressive, then yes, that's how I was raised. If this means an inside joke or a cultural joke about cis people's gender that everyone is supposed to relate to, then I think that's ridiculous and it has no meaning to me.

#personal #hey n look at this #[nate bargatze voice] but while you're at it. what is 'a lot'? how much is 'a normal amount' to pee at night?? #autism #self dx #autism masking #i think i should ask n to help me take the test because goddamn. #i'm sure trying to make my best guess here #hell if i know #okay to reblog #the other alters internally yell about making posts #i'm losing my mind #raads r

computer, open RAADS-R and ADHD screening... its time to get to the bottom of this

#129 raads and 6/6 initial ADHD screening... maybe something neurodivergent is happening here... #also scored around 120 on camouflaging test hmmmmmm #should I go pay to get professionally tested for this shit or just be aware that i'm a little different and thats ok #idk i dont want to hop on the gen z tiktok neurospicy bandwagon but i have felt off since birth yk and autism does run on both sides #of the family and maybe being aware of that would do me some good anxiety wise #many thoughts to be thunk
