Inner Workings

Four questionnaires, one hundred and ninety five items, scored in full and handed straight back to you.

The instruments are the ones a clinician would recognise: the AQ, the CAT-Q, the EQ, and the RAADS-R. Most places that put these online give you a number and a nudge toward a waiting list. This one gives you the entire scoring, laid out the way a clinician reads it, and a page explaining who made each questionnaire and where it came from, on the view that an instrument with no provenance is just a quiz.

There is no account and there is no charge. There is a wide font and a dark mode, which sounds like a small courtesy until it is four in the morning and you have been reading about yourself for two hours.

And there is one sentence the shop would hang on the door if it could: this is not a diagnosis, and no score here decides whether anyone is autistic. A screening instrument is a way of asking a better question, not a verdict. The piece says so itself, plainly, and never once implies otherwise.
