A pattern-based adult self-assessment of outward presentation, internal experience,
adaptation burden, overlap, and uncertainty.
Before you begin
This is a reflection tool, not a measurement instrument.
It is not validated. It is not normed against a population. The scores
below 100 that you will see are relative within this tool only
— they are not percentiles, and they are not comparable to ASRS, AQ-10,
or RAADS-14 numbers.
The questions are also, by design, transparent: many of them
obviously ask about autism- or ADHD-related experiences. That helps
reflection but it also means the tool cannot correct for the very human
tendency to answer in the direction you expect the tool is asking about.
Keep that in mind as you go.
This tool does not diagnose autism, ADHD, or any mental health condition,
and it is not a substitute for clinical evaluation. It is for structured
self-reflection only.
The assessment pays attention not only to visible traits, but also to masking,
internal effort, compensation, recovery cost, context shifts, and uncertainty.
Replace developmental history or clinical judgment
Separate all causes cleanly
Prove clinical validity

Answer based on your typical experience, not your best day or worst day alone.
If an item is hard to answer, use Hard to tell / Not sure.
This is not a validated screening instrument. Scores are relative
within this tool only — they are not percentile-ranked against a population. For
validated adult screeners, the ASRS v1.1 (ADHD) and
RAADS-14 or AQ-10 (autism) are free, brief, and
well-studied.

Pattern summary
Reflection tool, not a measurement instrument.
Scores are relative within this tool only — not percentiles, not
comparable to validated screeners. The profile label below is a
heuristic description of a pattern, not a category you fit into.

Important limits
This is a pattern summary, not a diagnosis.
Current stress, burnout, anxiety, sleep, or instability can affect results.
Low outward visibility does not mean low burden.
High burden does not automatically indicate one explanation.
Formal diagnosis requires clinical judgment, developmental history, context across
settings, and often collateral information. Use this as a structured reflection tool,
not as proof of anything.
If this is surfacing something heavy
Some of these questions can bring up real distress. If you're struggling right
now, you don't have to sit with it alone.
