Are they quite accurate? Can they be used as a kind of self-diagnostic tool? xx

I think so, as long as it's not some Buzzfeed quiz. The RAADS-R test is something my clinic sent me to take to support my official diagnosis and the exact version is online. I was impatient to wait a month, so I just scored it online. I've taken a few other tests such as the ones in my signature, and they are all pretty consistent.
I would only use it for infomatinoal purposes and see a professional for more details.
http://www.aspietests.org/userdetails.php?target=/raads/questions.phpThankyou, do you have a link or know where I could find it?
How annoying... Some of the questions I can only sometimes relate to but theres no option for that -_-
It could be worth it as the Dr. can pass on a referral.Yeah its only to get an idea... I just want to know whether theres any point in me taking any concerns to the dr
I know, and I think that's a common complaint from a few threads I've read. Most questions I had definite answers, but there were a few that were not as clear cut.
AQ -30
EQ - 33
RDOS - ND - 127/200 NT - 88/200
RAADS-R - 146.0
These are all the tests and results I have.
I have social problems - people tend to not like me instantly, for reasons I can't fathom. I dislike large groups of people alot, it makes me anxious and uncomfortable. I'm not one for small talk. Eye contact makes me uncomfortable.
I experience what others call tantrums when I'm extremely stressed - screeching, hairpulling, scratching, sobbing, rocking.
Noisiness makes me anxious and makes my head hurt - banging, crashing, clanging, lots of talking, screaming, they all really really agitate me.
I prefer my own company the vast majority of the time.
I don't know - it could be everything or nothing, I've just started looking at myself a little deeper.

Same similar ball park as my own scores then. I think it's warranted for further enquiries. Remember though doctors will want to know about your early development, not so much on how you are currently. Autism is a neurobiological development condition, not a learnt or acquired condition like Schizoid Personality Disorder. They'll want to know if you spoke on time (single words around 2, sentences by 4), other conditions you've been diagnosed with especially anxiety and depression and if there are family members on the autism spectrum, if you were bullied at school and how you've been able to function for daily living, problems with homework at school, ability to consistently wash and care for yourself.
I guess I'll have to talk to my mum about the early development stuff, I'm not sure on that.
The rest I can tell them myself.
Thankyou
