Could I be autistic? A private self-reflection checklist
A private, in-browser checklist to help you reflect on whether your experiences might be consistent with autism. No data is stored or submitted. This is not a diagnosis — but it may help you find language for what you have been experiencing.
Before you begin
Autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental difference affecting sensory processing, communication, social interaction, and how the world is experienced. It presents very differently in different people — particularly in adults, women, and people who have learnt to mask their differences.
Answer based on how things are most of the time, not just on a good day. Think about your life as a whole. Many adults with ADHD have developed extensive coping strategies that mask their difficulties — consider the effort those strategies cost you, not just whether they “work.”
