Autism & Neurodivergence Screening
Most autism assessments were built for white boys. These tools were selected because they account for what traditional screening misses: masking, camouflaging, and the presentations common in women, nonbinary individuals, and adults who learned early to perform neurotypicality.
Approach
Start with the AQ-10 (5 minutes). If indicated, follow with the CAT-Q to assess masking.

Available Assessments
AQ-10 Autism Screen
The quickest validated autism screening tool. Ten questions about how you process social information, sensory input, and patterns. A score of 6 or above indicates that a comprehensive evaluation is warranted.
Take the AQ-10CAT-Q
Measures three dimensions of autistic camouflaging: compensation (learning social rules intellectually), masking (hiding autistic traits), and assimilation (trying to fit in). A score of 100 or above indicates significant camouflaging. This is the tool that catches what traditional screens miss.
Take the CAT-QRAADS-R
Designed specifically for adults who "escaped diagnosis" in childhood. Measures four domains: language, social relatedness, sensory-motor, and circumscribed interests. The most thorough self-report tool available. A score of 65 or above indicates likely autism.
Take the RAADS-RRecommended Assessment Path
Quick Screen
Take the AQ-10 (5 minutes). If your score is 6 or above, proceed to step 2.
Assess Masking
Take the CAT-Q (10 minutes). High masking scores explain why traditional tools may have missed you.
Full Self-Assessment
Take the RAADS-R (20 to 30 minutes) for a comprehensive profile across four domains.
Professional Evaluation
Bring your results to a clinician experienced with adult autism and masking presentations for formal evaluation.
Not sure where to start?
The AQ-10 takes five minutes and tells you whether further screening is indicated. Most people start there.
Take the AQ-10Common Questions
Can an online assessment diagnose autism?
No. These are screening tools that indicate whether further professional evaluation is warranted. An official diagnosis requires comprehensive evaluation by a qualified clinician, typically involving developmental history, behavioral observation, and standardized testing.
Why are there separate tools for women and masking?
Traditional autism assessments were developed using predominantly male samples and miss presentations common in women, nonbinary individuals, and anyone who has learned to camouflage their traits. The CAT-Q specifically measures masking behaviors that standard tools overlook.
What if I score high on masking but low on the autism screen?
This is common among late-identified individuals, particularly women. High camouflaging can suppress scores on traditional screening tools. A comprehensive evaluation that accounts for masking is the appropriate next step.
