"height test" Brother, you mean using a tape measure?

He’s too busy getting so big for us. 😊

@@TragicPenguinX Nah man, you know what a height test is. It's when someone puts something on the top shelf, and you gotta get it down without it dropping on the ground. If you're tall enough, it's no problem, but if you're a "short king", yeah that thing's hitting the ground, assuming you didn't climb up the shelf to grab it.

@@TragicPenguinXsamething as bloodtest bruh

@@bblvrable lmao

is this actually real??

I over think literally everything that exists and it's exhausting

I mean I am diagnosed and I scored 179 so it works for me 🤣

It’s complete bs lol

How accurate are these tests? I see a lot of chatters getting pretty high scores on this test.

This may just be the best thing I’ve seen in my short short life. Edit: 69 haha

811 gleeps shneeble 🤣

Thanks brother

Fair, but that's because you know the signs, but it wouldn't be so obvious to someone that has no idea what points to you being on the spectrum,

Weirdly enough, I think that's part of it. With some of these questions they clearly and precisely know what they're going for, so I assume they made it it slightly vague as a sort of sorting method, something along the line of an autistic person might anwser yes while another person might answer no because of the vagueness. Or trying to bait an autistic person in being a bit upset, as this is meant to be done under supervision

Also for things like "talk weird" I'm sure they mean like you talk in a way that is brought up and noticed by most people to being atypical. Not just a bit funny or lazy in speech. Some of these questions are very specific but by not elaborating you will get people questioning it because they "talk loud 'sometimes'". I doubt Ludwig has walked into a library and spoke to the librarian at full volume. I'm sure he's done the thing most people do where they are in a social setting with loud music or earplugs, and then changed settings and accidentally spoke louder than the situation calls for. It happens all the time and isn't the autistic trait I think they are looking for.

i was kind of annoyed that there weren't in between answers but over and under 16 instead, so all the time i had to go with just yes and no, even if the answer weren't 100% accurate xD i got 50 points but i think most of that was because of some answers that had to do more with being an introvert, like preferring to be on my own and not sharing with friends, not being comfortable with dates etc

You might be autistic

Pretty much all of the questions are hard & fast either yes or no for the neurotypical folk... That's the point of the design lol

That is actually a pretty autistic trait tbf lol

He didn't score highly though. The website presents each score as much more significant than it actually is. a 71 basically means you don't have autism.

As someone who scored 182, he did NOT score highly lol(I'm autistic tho)

@@lachlanokeefe8020 i got 96 but i dont got autisim im just kinda shy meeting new people and now i feel like im autistic

​@@halal_spider9722 All the test truly measures is the amount of traits/habits you share with the typical autistic person. An autistic person could score a 96, but so do many non-autistic people, as many traits that lots of autistic people have are very similar to the traits of non-autistic but introverted/socially awkward people. There's no reason to feel differently about yourself because you took this test - you're the same person you have always been. + the average score of people who are autistic is about 130, which is significantly higher than 96.

ikr thats what im saying!!!!! as someone that only just found out their autistic 5-6 months ago, it makes me so so happy fr :))

they’re* mb lmao

im glad he covered autism i just found out my son has it and that doesnt bother me. the thing that bothere me is will there be somebody who acts sh!tty to my son as i wont hold back to protect my baby

yeah I'm glad most people don't immediately take it as an insult anymore

Sorry you went through that, but I'm glad it got diagnosed eventually.

I'm 20 now and I got a score of 114 so there is a good chance I have autism, I grew up in a messy household aswell and had to see a lot of fcked stuff growing up and still do. I wonder how that affects autism (I am not very informed about it)

I'm 24 and recently had a conversation with my sister who is 20 about it and she insisted i might be autistic and I should check it out. Honestly my response was very defensive because all the autistic people we knew growing up were non verbal and in my mind you couldn't be autistic unless you were non verbal and felt that most people weren't autistic, but just normal people who deal with normal everyday things. She was extremely patient with me and when I was calmed down she explained why she thought I might be, and that it was perfectly okay, and comforted me. I pushed it off until now and only took this test because one of my favorite KZfaqrs did and scored a 130 on this RAADS-R test. I'm going to talk to a counselor this next 2 weeks plus a day from now, who might be able to send me to a psychologist. I'm so stressed about it. Healthcare where I live sucks and I wouldn't be surprised if I get told to pretty much just get over it

Damn, there's a lot of us.

Why? Autism isnt a bad thing.

@@MonographicSingleheaded yes it is, its a disorder for a reason

@@MonographicSingleheaded it is. a person with autism isnt. sorry am i being autistic right now?

@@Arthera0TF do you mean by “am I being autistic rn”?? Autism isn’t an inherently bad thing, yes people can struggle with autism but to dismiss what is a spectrum as what you are comparing it to, a disease, is not only wrong it’s just flat out insulting

@@MonographicSingleheadedits a bad thing. i did know i guy and he died and had autism

I also got a triple A: anxiety, adhd, arfid. I dont think im autistic but who knows, comorbidity rates between these n autism do make it statistically likely that i am.

There are close links between ADHD and autism (or rather they are characterized similarly but are distinct disorders), and anxiety is a common trait of both. I suppose that's a shortcoming of these online tests, since someone could easily self diagnose themselves with whichever they take first, but equally some people will just have both anyway and like you, may not realise at first because you were only tested for one.

I think I could too. High functioning for all 3 so I haven’t sought diagnosis, but there are times they flare up that are really annoying. Especially anxiety and adhd. Was it worth getting diagnosed for you?

@@jennifervasquez Same! Were the AAA (possible A) squad.

I got the Depression ➡️Anxiety➡️GAD➡️ ‘highly sensitive person’ ➡️ Autism ➡️ Autism+adhd progression

its around 1% which is a fuck ton of people. so its not rare at all.

@Arthera0 so many people make it out to be rare and I'm just like, no? We just don't talk about it causally enough.

Word

@@rosepetalz3021 random question. do you also have the "spidey sense" to easily detect other people on the spectrum?

@@Arthera0 most of the time, yeah. Super fun 🥲

yeah i'm autistic too and i was also a bit worried but i agree 100%

No

no..??? and stanz would never mean it as an insult or smth

That's actually the complete opposite. It's absolutely normal between bros

grow up

yeah that friend is dumb enough to think this test is proof of anything

thats why you cant selfdiagnose and need a professional that looks at a lot more than a questionaire

@@Arthera0 Disagree to an extent. Current research shows that self diagnosis is at least somewhat valid. Misdiagnosis occurs even with professional diagnosis, though at lower rates. A majority of people who self diagnose who are later evaluated do receive a diagnosis. And the biggest reason for me is high rates of under-diagnosis especially in groups such as women, minorities, and older individuals. According to UCLA ~80% of ASD women may be undiagnosed. I do agree that taking a single test without a professional is not indicative, but that is not representative of the self-diagnosis process in general. In my experience (late diagnosed), I took my first self assessment and scored 1 section above Lud. From that I said 'I might be autistic' and held that view for well over a year. During that time, I learned more about autism (including DSM criteria) and maybe a year after my first test I felt confident that I was, yet to anyone else I claimed to be 'maybe' autistic -- not diagnosed. Ended up diagnosed with both ADHD and ASD (also an incorrect self diagnosis of autism does very little harm as near 0 resources are available even for diagnosed individuals -- for self-diagnosed individuals the only possible negative I can think of is if you have another condition -- that can be treated -- and choose not to seek diagnosis due to your self diagnosis) Sources: McDonald TAM. Autism Identity and the "Lost Generation": Structural Validation of the Autism Spectrum Identity Scale (ASIS) and Comparison of Diagnosed and Self-Diagnosed Adults on the Autism Spectrum. - finds very high similarity between diagnosed and self diagnosed individuals Hausman-Kedem M, Kosofsky BE, Ross G, Yohay K, Forrest E, Dennin MH, Patel R, Bennett K, Holahan JP, Ward MJ. Accuracy of Reported Community Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. - not exactly self-diagnosis but this reports 77% accuracy of self diagnosed participants (23% self diagnosed were determined to be not on the spectrum) Missed diagnoses and misdiagnoses of adults with autism spectrum disorder - study of 160 late diagnosed autistic people where 33% were not diagnosed in an initial evaluation (on average 10 years prior to diagnosis) while the rest were diagnosed with another psychiatric condition

@@lopsidedpotato sorry but a self diagnosis is not valid and i don't take anyone serious who tells me they self diagnosed.

​@Arthera0 ​bro wrote a whole ass paragraph about how its pretty valid including citing sources and your comeback is nope your dumb and wrong? Fucking grow up

@@Arthera0 sorry thats just wrong, you said nothing of value, gave no contradictory evidence, and are disagreeing with the majority professional opinion. self diagnosis gains you nothing, and sharing a self diagnosis gets you nothing but stigma. People don't self diagnose off a trend or a single (borderline) assessment. The majority of self diagnosed people are autistic, and nearly every late diagnosed autistic person begins with self diagnosis. You are entitled to your incorrect opinion though

also my raads-r score is 179 😎

Hilarious indeed

While I agree to an extent, I think self diagnosis is valid. I remember hearing something like 90+% of self diagnosed people who seek diagnosis do end up diagnosed. That said no single test can tell you with certainty and a major factor in the diagnostic effectiveness of these test is your like actual responses on top of the answer you give -- like having problems with the black/white nature of many of the questions and/or the ambiguity (looking at you would you rather go to a party or a library -- WHO'S PARTY IS IT?? IS THERE FOOD? BYOB? GAMES? , do I need a book, am I already reading something? can i stay home? (sorry I yapped at the end))

@@lopsidedpotatoI hate these tests (might be a strong word) because of questions like that. I overthink almost every single question and I can find a reasonable justification to answer either way on most questions, so quizzes like this take me forever to complete. Like you said, is the party a small party with people I know and am comfortable with? Is there going to be alcohol (helps me feel more comfortable in social situations)? Etc. And I have to go through these mental gymnastics for every question. Note: This is from someone who isn’t really sure. I don’t think I am because I don’t feel as if I exhibit enough traits, but has questioned many times. But anyway, taking these quizzes sucks for me 😭

I recently discovered in my doctors notes it says: social anxiety of the childhood and elements of generalised anxiety disorder. I'm 22. I suspect I have autism too lol. my brother is diagnosed but I never got the chance to do it for free so now I'm not going broke to get a diagnosis on paper.

classic

dont! its pointless

I remember taking it after a suggestion by a friend and it gave me like a 179.
