AuDHD self-test for adults

ADHD-related patterns
Directing attention, starting, sensing time, impulsivity, and restlessness.
Interaction
The tension between needing stability and needing stimulation or variety.
Answer for how things usually are, not only for your best or most difficult week.
This self-test was written by maskedbutaware and has not been clinically validated. The result cannot establish or rule out autism, ADHD, or AuDHD.
Where the questions come from
The questions were not copied from the AQ, ASRS, RAADS-R, or another existing test. They were written around recurring research topics: directing attention, impulsivity, sensory processing, predictability, social calibration, and switching between tasks.
The third line looks at conflict between those patterns. Examples include needing structure but being unable to maintain it, or seeking stimulation and then becoming overloaded by it. This part organizes experiences; it does not claim to be a new clinical scale.
Frequently asked questions
Can this test determine whether I have AuDHD?
No. AuDHD is an informal term for co-occurring autism and ADHD. This self-test has not been clinically validated and cannot establish or rule out a diagnosis.
Is this the AQ-10 or ASRS?
No. The questions were written by maskedbutaware. The domains reflect topics studied in autism, ADHD, and overlap research, but no questions or score thresholds were taken from existing instruments.
Why is there no total AuDHD score?
A total would suggest that every answer forms one validated scale. The result therefore keeps autistic patterns, ADHD-related patterns, and their interaction separate.
What can I do with the result?
Use it to collect concrete examples: when did the patterns begin, where do they occur, and what do they cost in daily life? Those examples are more useful in a conversation with a doctor or specialist than an online score alone.
