A thorough list of scientifically based assessments with descriptions and ability to complete and score. One of my favorite things about a few of these test is that they show that the spectrum isn’t a continuum, but more of a web of traits that are on separate but related continua.

Note: A self-assessment is not sufficient to properly assess autism. These assessments can provide helpful insight, but a proper assessment includes at least a thorough interview by a licensed mental health professional that specializes in autism assessment.
This downvote here is what has been mentioned by @backonmyBS@lemmy.world in the toxicity in this community thread. In the post it was asked to post results if someone is comfortable with it so this comment is exactly what contributes to the post.
Downvote things that don’t contribute, not things you may not agree with.

It frustrates me so much because you have to figure out for yourself that you might be/are autistic if you want to seek out a diagnosis as an adult. There’s already enough gatekeeping by the medical field, both financially and otherwise. We don’t need to make people second guess if they should even seek an assessment.
It reminds me of the site ytmnd.com, which is where I first heard the idea of a downvoter. It was already a known phenomenon back in the mid 2000s. Someone even made a wiki page about it, categorizing users based on their driving cause.
