Unmasked: Adult Autism & ADHD

Six validated screeners, two of them free, plus free AI interpretations. One-time purchase for the rest. No subscription, no ads, ever.

You are not broken. You might just be wired differently.

Unmasked is a self-discovery companion for adults who suspect they might be autistic, ADHD, or both, and want to explore that without spending thousands on an evaluation.

Built by someone exploring late diagnosis, for people doing the same. No clinical jargon. No deficit framing. No ads. No shame.

NOT A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL

Unmasked uses validated research questionnaires and warm reflection to help you understand what you have been masking, what drains you, and what you need. A formal diagnosis requires a clinician.

VALIDATED ASSESSMENTS

Six respected adult screening instruments. Two free; the rest included in a one-time $14.99 Pro upgrade. No subscription.

AQ-10 - The Autism Quotient short-form screener. Ten questions, a research-backed starting point used worldwide. Free.

AASPIRE Autistic Burnout Scale - Revised - Fourteen questions measuring chronic autistic burnout. The others ask how you have always been; this one asks how the last three months compare to your own baseline, so you can take it again and see what changed. Free, used with permission from AASPIRE, with the full citation shown in the app.

RAADS-R - The Ritvo Autism Asperger Diagnostic Scale, Revised. Eighty questions across four domains: Social Relatedness, Language, Sensory-Motor and Circumscribed Interests. One of the most respected adult instruments. Pro.

CAT-Q - The Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire. Surfaces the masking that causes many autistic adults, especially women, to score lower on other instruments. Pro.

CATI - The Comprehensive Autistic Trait Inventory. Forty-two questions mapping six dimensions: Social Interactions, Communication, Social Camouflage, Cognitive (In)Flexibility, Self-regulatory Behaviours and Sensory Sensitivity. Where others give a single score, the CATI shows the shape of your profile. Pro.

ASRS-v1.1 Screener - The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale, WHO-endorsed. Six questions from the full checklist, the most predictive of adult ADHD - a presentation that often accompanies autism and is as often missed. Pro.

AI INTERPRETATION

After an assessment, Unmasked writes a warm, plain-language narrative of what your results mean - the kind of thing a knowledgeable friend would say, rather than a report card.

Two interpretations are free - one for the AQ-10, one for the burnout scale. Pro unlocks unlimited interpretations and the Full Profile Synthesis, connecting your instruments into one picture of how the results relate.

SENSORY PROFILE

Map your sensory world across eight categories, from sound and light to proprioception and interoception. Export a card for family, employers or clinicians.

ENERGY AND MASKING

Log your daily spoons and check in on masking in thirty seconds. Track the two against each other and see which environments cost you most.

SOCIAL SCRIPTS

Fifteen ready-to-use scripts for the hardest situations - phone calls, boundaries, accommodations, medical appointments. Pro adds custom scripts for anything you describe.

TASK BREAKDOWN

Photograph a task you cannot start and get a step-by-step breakdown. Pro.

REPORTS

Export a PDF summary of your results for an appointment, or an accommodation letter for work or study. Pro.

CRISIS SUPPORT

Guided breathing, grounding exercises, quiet timer. Crisis resources one tap away - US helplines and an international directory elsewhere. Always free. Never paywalled.

FOCUS AUDIO

Six noise types - white, pink, brown, blue, violet and grey - during assessments and body doubling.

YOUR DATA

Your journal and scripts stay on your device. Your assessment results sync to your own private Firebase account, so they are there on your other devices. Photos sent for Task Breakdown are processed and immediately discarded. Nothing is ever sold, shared, or used to train AI models. No ads. Ever.

For self-exploration only. If you are in crisis, please contact a qualified professional or your local emergency service.
