There are a LOT of autism screening tests available. Each were developed in different decades, based on different methodologies, based on different schools of thought on Autism.
Most tests give you a list of statements, and you then have to answer based on how much you agree with them.
In general, Autism tests tend to be longer than ADHD tests. This is great for people who love multiple-choice questionnaires, but not that great for those who don’t! If you’re in the latter group, it can help to go through the questions in chunks, or grab a friend and do it with them, or even ask that friend to read out the questions for you. (And get some snacks.)
What is the AQ10?
The AQ10 (Autism Spectrum Quotient) test is a quick guide for doctors to refer adults who are suspected to be autistic and do not have a learning disability. It has 10 statements, and you have to choose how much you agree with each statement.

I could have problem in reading too
Hey Gulsen, welcome!
Yes, neurodivergent traits often go hand in hand, and dyslexia or dyslexic traits are usually present along with other neurodivergent conditions. Here at Weirdly we like to think of these traits as items on a buffet table, and people can have a different mix of them on their plate, regardless of where it’s currently considered in the diagnostic criteria.
How are you finding reading the website? We try to use reader-friendly fonts wherever we can. I myself prefer serif-fonts, but many dyslexia fonts are sans-serif, this also shows that there is no single neurodivergent experience. 🙂
