A free, private screening based on DSM-5 criteria. Quick, anonymous, and designed for parents and carers. Results in minutes — not a diagnosis.

Autism Self-Test

A free, private screening tool informed by DSM-5 criteria for autism spectrum disorder. Designed for parents, carers, and adults seeking a quick personal summary — without the wait, the cost, or the paperwork.

What it does

Answer a short series of questions across the seven DSM-5 dimensions covering social communication, behavioural patterns, and developmental criteria. The app calculates a category-by-category summary so you can see where the patterns are strongest, and gives you the option to email the full results to yourself for a future conversation with a clinician.

Who it's for

Parents and carers wondering whether to seek a formal evaluation Adults who suspect they may be on the spectrum and want a starting point Educators and support workers building a clearer picture before referral

What you get

A guided self-report screening based on DSM-5 dimensions A1–A3, B1–B4, and criteria C–E A clear, dimension-by-dimension result summary A private email of your full results, with the option to subscribe to follow-up resources No login, no account, no ads Works offline once installed (results submission requires internet)

Important — please read

This is a self-report screening tool, not a diagnostic instrument. Results provide guidance only. They are not a substitute for assessment by a qualified clinician, paediatrician, or psychologist. If your results suggest further investigation may be helpful, we strongly encourage you to speak with a healthcare professional.
