Have you ever wondered if you, your child, or someone you know is on the Autism spectrum? Now you can. This test was developed by S. Baron-Cohen, S. Wheelwright, R. Skinner, J. Martin and E. Clubley, (2001) at Cambridge University and is used in many places for online screening. Although not a diagnostic tool, it is very accurate and can certainly be used as a guide line. Contacting a professional for further information is highly recommended however. Paws4Roel is all about Autism as both myself and my son are Autistic. We would like to make the iPhone community more aware about Autism. Being Autistic is very special. Neurotypical (NT) people think and live along the linear, Autistics think and live in the quantum. NOTE: In reply to some feedback left for AutismTest, I need to stress that AutismTest is NOT a definitive answer to having ASD. These tests have extensively been researched by the Autism Research Centre at Cambridge University and have shown that there is a clear link between the score of this test and an actual diagnosis. But again a high score doest NOT definitively suggest you have ASD. Please remember that the AQ is not a diagnostic instrument, a high score on the AQ does not suggest that a diagnosis is warranted. It is purely a screening test. The test is NOT, as some reviewers suggest, out of date. The reviewers have not read the information on the AQ test and therefore have given a completely uninformative review. Also have a look at "Five Little Monkeys" and "Old MacDonald" from LoeschWare. Their applications also support Autism Causes and are well worth looking at. AutismTest is free. For more information about what we do, please visit our website. Any feedback and support is much appreciated. ## Key features - Autism spectrum screening - Developed by Cambridge University researchers - Provides guidance for professional consultation - Aims to raise autism awareness - Free to use ## Recent user reviews (10 of 68) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/autismtest/id320725283/reviews.md ### 1/5 — So insulting *2011-03-09, version 1.3* This need to be erased .... So insulting... my child has asperger's and it said " child has no autistic traits" this can give parents with serious concerns about their kids the wrong idea or answer :( ### 5/5 — It is clever *2011-03-05, version 1.3* I am a young child and it guessed I had autism well. ### 1/5 — Don't bother *2011-02-27, version 1.3* I answered the questions for my Five year old son and it came out he doesn't have any autistic traits which is odd as he was diagnosed with it two years ago!! ### 1/5 — Bad *2011-02-19, version 1.3* It said I have autistic traits,however,I am not autistic and I'm popular with many friends...smh ### 2/5 — Not accurate *2011-01-07, version 1.3* I did this test based on my brother who is 11yrs old -but acts more like he is 3yrs old because of his autism- and it gave him a score of 15 and said he only has 'autistic traits'. I then did the same test on myself (I am 15yrs old) and I got the same score even though I have not got autism. When I tried to answer as "autistic" as I could and still only got a score of 16. Rubbish. ### 5/5 — Yee?? *2010-12-30, version 1.3* Done it to se waht it sead and it sed I had autum and I do hav autsum and ADHD and sensory issus and dislxia ### 4/5 — True *2010-12-03, version 0* Works for me. P.s why would you do this for fun?! ### 4/5 — Lexx *2010-10-04, version 0* All you who complain. Don't be so stupid. My 4yr old daughter is autistic and I has feelings she was since b4 she was 2yrs. It took doctors over 6 months to confirm. So what makes you think a free app replaces a doctor. If you read the in app info you will see a list of the most common signs and remember even doctors get it wrong. The answers you give are subjective so maybe let someone else try for you as most of us miss our own personal traits. This app turned out to be fairly accurate but not perfect I agree but who has has a exact precise diagnosis, which is why they call it the autism spectrum. D'oh ### 1/5 — Not helpful *2010-10-03, version 0* My 10 yo is definitely on the autism spectrum. I answered the questions and "he has no autistic traits". What!!! Just because a child can hold eye contact or has some imagination and not focused on math facts DOES NOT mean they don't have autism. This app does not come close to helping any parents concerns. ### 1/5 — Waste of time!!!! *2010-10-02, version 0* My perfectly normal daughter came up with autistic traits while my clearly autistic son had no autistic traits???? Absolute garbage!!! ## Frequently asked questions about AutismTest ### What is AutismTest?
