This quiz is designed for young adults, or the family members of young adults, who are noticing patterns such as differences in social communication, sensory sensitivity, strong preference for routine, or feeling out of sync with peers that may be impacting everyday life. These experiences could reflect autism spectrum traits.
This quiz is not a diagnosis, but it can be a helpful first step in understanding what you or your loved one may be experiencing. Our goal is to offer a space for reflection and help you explore whether a formal evaluation or additional support might be helpful.
