Hi,
I am just going through the RAADS-R test ... Is it me or are a number of the questions baffling?
For example;
Q I speak with a normal rhythm.
There isn't an option of "I have no idea if I speak with a normal rhythm".
There are a good number of questions that I just don't have an answer for. Is it a good test or am I missing something?
Many thanks.
Edit ... just finished the test .... 223.
What do I win? :-)
If there was an option for "I have no idea" I would pick that for most of the questions... I have very little self-awareness about most of the things it asks about.
indeed. a lot of the questions seem to asking you to judge yourself against the expectations of others ... I just do not get the feedback from others to enable me to understand how they see me. I have had comments from NTs that I seem completely unaware of how others respond to me.
Absolutely... I don't think that an autistic person's perception of how others perceive them is a particularly good way to assess autistic traits Accurately answering any question like that would require you to have an in-depth understanding of what goes on in a neurotypical person's head when they're interacting with you.
