How to Interpret Your RAADS-R Score
A practical guide to understanding RAADS-R score ranges, what each threshold means, and when to seek a professional evaluation.
What is the RAADS-R?
The RAADS-R (Ritvo Autism Asperger Diagnostic Scale-Revised) is a self-report questionnaire designed to identify adult autism spectrum traits. It contains 80 questions across four domains: social relatedness, circumscribed interests, language/communication, and sensory-motor experiences.
Score Ranges
| Range | Meaning | | --- | --- | | 0–64 | Low likelihood of autism traits | | 65–89 | Moderate likelihood — consider further evaluation | | 90–129 | Significant traits present | | 130+ | Strong indication of autism traits |
When to Seek a Professional Evaluation
If your total score is 65 or higher, consider scheduling an appointment with a mental health professional who specializes in adult autism assessment. They can provide a comprehensive evaluation using multiple tools, interviews, and observations.
