Ive never really thought about it untiul I read about the RAAD test, then I took it and got a 115 and now I’m like ooooohh. When the move is done and got a new Dr gonna ask about it.
RAADS-Rev for anyone interested
I’ve been on this planet for nearly three and a half decades, and this tiny comment just made a lot of things click for me. I’m gonna try and see a professional, I’ve got a lot to unpack.
Good luck and let us know how things turn out!
- I forgot what my score was so I took it again. Yikes.

Might want to get checked out by an autism evaluator
I got 116. I was diagnosed with ADHD as a kid but I’ve never considered myself on the autistic spectrum.
156 here, and also didn’t think about it until my sister got diagnosed, and she has quite similar problems (and she had 157 in the same test, aha). Well, I just wasn’t sure if it’s “real autism” or “real” anything or that I’d “persuaded myself of something I can’t reach as an important goal” etc.
Hahah I recognize every one of these spaces I’m another late-diagnosed adult, and the weird thing about it is that I didn’t start having these conversations with myself until after being diagnosed
Masking is a hell of a drug
- I’m too scared of people
- I’m too sensitive
- I misbehave/don’t pay attention because I’m bad
- Autistic people are so cool and smart
- I might have a personality disorder
- Actually, my friend thinks I’m autistic
- Nah, I’ve been misdiagnosed before
- I’m just trying to come up with excuses
- Now I’m being rude
- I’m always trying to come up with excuses
- HOLY FUCK I’M AUTISTIC! THINGS MAKE SO MUCH SENSE!!
You missed the stage where you don’t want to openly identify as autistic because of the stigma surrounding both autism itself as well as self-diagnosis
You’re forgetting the future stages:
- holy crap! im autistic
- hey everyone, im autistic
- okay, i guess it just explains everything
- nobody seems to care that much
- alright, i’ll go find a good-paying tech/accounting/science job now
- proud to be ASD, if anyone cares
- hey everyone, im autistic
💯 🤣
“Wait, there’s a term for that thing I do with my hands?”
Why is this relatable.
If I’m actually autistic, I’m at “hmm maybe I’m kinda spectrumy” atm.
How badly do you hate onions?
I love onions. And garlic.
