Total scores can range from a low of 15 to a high of 60; scores below 30 indicate that the individual is in the non-autistic range, scores between 30 and 36.5 indicate mild to moderate autism, and scores from 37 to 60 indicate severe autism (Schopler et al.
RAADS-R score of 90: You demonstrate strong indications that you have autism, although neurotypical individuals may also score highly. RAADS-R score of 130: The average autism score, signs that autism is present. RAADS-R score of 160: You demonstrate solid evidence for autism.
The items are rated from 1 to 5, increasing score indicating increasing severity of the problem. A score of <70 indicates no autism, 70-106 (mild autism), 107-153 (moderate autism), and >153 (severe autism).
For the ASRS, Average classifications (40- 59 T-score range) show typical levels of concern; the Slightly Elevated term (60-64) indicates somewhat more concern than is typical; Elevated Score (65-69) describes more concerns than are typically reported; and a Very Elevated Score (70+) is a result with many more concerns ...
An autism spectrum disorder diagnosis is broken into levels 1, 2, and 3. These levels indicate the extent to which autism impacts an individual's ability to communicate and take care of themselves. The levels describe the disorder's severity and how much support a person needs.
Total scores can range from a low of 15 to a high of 60; scores below 30 indicate that the individual is in the non-autistic range, scores between 30 and 36.5 indicate mild to moderate autism, and scores from 37 to 60 indicate severe autism (Schopler et al.
Each item on the Clinician-Rated Severity of Autism Spectrum and Social Communication Disorders measure is rated on a 4-point scale (Level 0=None; Level 1=Mild/Requiring support; Level 2=Moderate/Requiring SUBSTANTIAL support; and Level 3=Severe/Requiring VERY SUBSTANTIAL support).
Men with autism have an average score of 35.1 (SD = 6.9), while the mean score for women with autism is 38.1 (SD = 4.4).
Any score of 26 or above is simply indicative of the presence of autistic traits. The AQ provides no more insights than that. Same as regular AQ score, but provides less confidence in the results than the AQ. Any score of 30 or below is indicative of autism according to this test.
The final score can range from 0–50 and a higher score indicates an increased level of autistic symptoms.
Scores at or above 65 are consistent with Autism. There is also a neurotypical and Autism percentile calculated that compares the respondent's score with a comparison control group of neurotypical adults (Mean = 25.95, SD = 16.04) and adults with an Autism diagnosis (Mean = 133.81, SD = 37.72; Ritvo et al., 2011).
An autism index score between 71 and 100 (level 2 and requiring substantial support) and over 101 (level 3 and requiring very significant support) indicates the very likely presence of ASD.
A score of <70 indicates no autism, 70- 106 (mild autism), 107-153 (moderate autism), and >153 (severe autism). It takes about 15 to 20 minutes for administration of ISAA.
The scoring range of the RAADS–R is 0–240. A score of 65+ indicates you are likely autistic, as no neurotypical scored above 64 in the research. A score of <65 means you are likely not autistic (97% chance of not being autistic).
Moderate (12 points): Have significant, very noticeable problems interacting. May be interested in social interaction, but will appear awkward, extremely shy, or eccentric.
The difference between high functioning autism and low functioning autism is behavioral. Low functioning autism causes behaviors that inhibit the ability to conduct daily life. Children with high functioning autism have similar abilities to his/her neurotypical peers.
Defining the Traits and Behaviors of Level 1 Autism
Difficulty switching between activities. Problems with executive functioning which hinder independence. Atypical response to others in social situations. Difficulty initiating social interactions and maintaining reciprocity in social interaction.
Low-functioning autism (LFA) is a degree of autism marked by difficulties with social communication and interaction, challenging behavior, and differences in social or emotional reciprocity. Sleep problems, aggression, stereotypical, and self-injurious behavior are also common symptoms.
The previous DSM-4 categorized autism as separate diagnoses of Asperger's syndrome, PDD-NOS, autistic disorder, and CDD. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has an autism information page with links to resources.
Level 2 Autism
Examples of issues for those with level two autism include: Have more significant problems when it comes to both verbal and also non-verbal communication. Talk in simple, single sentences. Elicit repetitive behaviors.
Level 1 Autism Spectrum Disorder (formerly known as Asperger's Syndrome)
80% of adults diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders scored 32 or more, compared with only 2% of the control group. The authors cited a score of 32 or more as indicating "clinically significant levels of autistic traits".
Diagnostic Criteria 299.00 (F84.0)
Deficits in developing, maintaining, and understanding relationships, ranging, for example, from difficulties adjusting behavior to suit various social contexts; to difficulties in sharing imaginative play or making friends; to absence of interest in peers.
Very Elevated Score 78 (73-80) 99 Social/ Communication Has difficulty using verbal and non-verbal communication appropriately to initiate, engage in, and maintain social contact. Average Score 53 (49-57) 62 Unusual Behaviors No problem indicated.
