    Understanding Scores in the Low Compatibility Range

    Your Total Score: {total}


    Score Ranges:

    45–104: High compatibility with autistic traits

    105–179: Moderate compatibility with autistic traits

    180–225: Low compatibility with autistic traits


    What This Score Might Mean:

    • Based on your answers, you may not strongly relate to many traits common in the autistic experience—like sensory sensitivity, emotional intensity, or needing extra processing time in social situations.

    • That doesn’t mean you never face challenges—it just means that the way you respond to the world might be different from how autistic teens often describe their experiences.

    • Scoring in this range doesn’t mean you lack depth, sensitivity, or uniqueness. It simply suggests that autism may not be the best framework to explain how you operate.

    Everyone has their own mix of strengths and struggles, and your score helps you get clearer on what does or doesn’t feel like it fits.


    If You Are Struggling...

    • Look for support that matches your needs. Even if autism isn’t the right match, you still deserve help if you’re feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or misunderstood.

    • Give yourself space to explore other possibilities. You might find that anxiety, trauma, or learning differences explain more about what you’re going through.

    • A neuro-informed therapist can help you sort through your experiences and figure out what kind of support or accommodations actually work for you.

    Your struggles are still valid, even if you don’t relate to autistic traits. Everyone’s brain is wired differently, and that’s completely okay.

    Remember, this isn't a diagnosis—it’s a tool to help build self-awareness. And no matter where your score lands, your voice, needs, and experiences matter.

    Understanding Scores in the Moderate Compatibility Range

    Your Total Score: {total}


    Score Ranges:

    45–104: Highcompatibility with autistic traits

    105–179: Moderate compatibility with autistic traits

    180–225: Low compatibility with autistic traits


    What This Score Might Mean:

    • You may recognize some autistic traits in yourself—maybe certain things like sensory overwhelm, fairness sensitivity, or needing extra time to process social situations feel familiar, while other things don’t show up as strongly.

    • This score suggests you might experience a mix of strengths and challenges that partly align with the autistic experience, even if not in every area.

    • You might not always struggle, but when you do, it’s real—and it matters. Being somewhere in the middle doesn’t mean your experiences are “mild” or unimportant.

    This score isn't supposed to label you—it gives you information about how you move through the world, and what kinds of support might help.


    If You Are Struggling...

    • Pay attention to what drains you, even if others don’t seem to notice it. It’s okay to need breaks, space, or tools that make life feel more manageable.

    • You don’t need to have all the answers right now. It’s okay to still be figuring out what your needs are and what makes you feel most like yourself.

    • Consider talking with a neuro-informed therapist—someone who can help you explore how your brain works, support your growth, and validate your experiences.


    Remember, this isn't a diagnosis. This screener is meant to be used as a helpful reflection tool. You don’t need to fit into a perfect box to understand yourself better.

    You’re allowed to take up space exactly as you are—curious, sensitive, strong, and still learning.

    Understanding Scores in the High Compatibility Range

    Your Total Score: {total}


    Score Ranges:

    45–104: High compatibility with autistic traits

    105–179: Moderate compatibility with autistic traits

    180–225: Low compatibility with autistic traits


    What This Score Might Mean:

    • Based on your responses, you may relate to many aspects of the autistic experience—like needing more time to process conversations, feeling overwhelmed in noisy or busy environments, or having a strong need for structure and routine.

    • You might notice that social situations can be confusing, draining, or hard to navigate, especially when it comes to unspoken rules or sudden changes.

    • Sensory experiences may also feel intense—certain sounds, lights, fabrics, or smells might be especially uncomfortable or distracting.

    This score doesn’t define who you are, but it may help explain patterns in how you think, feel, and interact with the world—and offer insight into supports that could be helpful.


    If You Are Struggling...

    • Notice what helps you feel calm and safe—whether it’s routines, music, certain textures, or being alone. These are clues to what your nervous system needs.

    • You don’t have to “fix” yourself to fit in—finding people who accept you as you are can be way more powerful than trying to mask or hide parts of yourself.

    • Consider talking with a neuro-informed therapist—someone who understands autism and can help you build tools for self-care, boundaries, and confidence.

    Remember - this screener isn’t a diagnosis, but it’s a useful starting point.

    Learning how your brain works doesn’t make you “too sensitive”—it helps you take your needs seriously and ask for what you deserve.

    You're not alone, and there's nothing wrong with who you are!

    Just So You Know:

    ​​This questionnaire is designed to offer helpful insights and promote self-reflection.

    It can be a useful starting point to increase understanding and many individuals find it valuable for exploring their experiences and opening up meaningful conversations, whether with a partner, therapist, or coach.

    That said, this tool is still in development and has not been validated through formal scientific research. While the questions are grounded in commonly reported themes, the questionnaire’s reliability and accuracy have not been formally established.

    It should not be used as a diagnostic tool or a substitute for professional evaluation.


    For personalized guidance, we encourage you to consult with one of our clinicians.
