RAADS-R score guide
What Does Your RAADS-R Score Mean?
Use these ranges as screening context. They cannot confirm or rule out autism on their own.
Below 65
This score is below the commonly used RAADS-R screening threshold.
A lower score does not rule out autism. Consider your lifelong pattern, masking, and any other assessment information.
65–89
This score is above the commonly used screening threshold and may justify closer reflection.
Review the item patterns that contributed to the score and consider discussing your concerns with a qualified professional.
90–129
This is an elevated screening score across the RAADS-R range.
Use the result as one part of a broader conversation about developmental history, current support needs, and possible evaluation.
130 or higher
This is a very elevated screening score, but it is not a diagnosis by itself.
If the result fits your lifelong experience, prepare examples and developmental history to discuss with a qualified clinician.
Why the score is only one part of the picture
RAADS-R is a self-report screening questionnaire. Scores can be influenced by masking, anxiety, ADHD, memory, interpretation of questions, and the setting in which you answer. A qualified clinician considers developmental history and current support needs as well.
