Screening questionnaires

Here you will find screening questionnaires for neurodivergent adults: ADHD, autistic traits, anxiety and emotional regulation. These are self-observation tools, not diagnoses — they help you put words to what you feel and see more clearly what support could help.

You complete them at your own pace, in private. At the end you get a clear result, explained plainly, and next steps. You can return any time.

Autistic traits, masking, monotropism, need for autonomy
Especially helpful when

you want a multi-domain profile of autistic traits, not a single number — the profile says more than a total cutoff.

What it captures
  • →Five domains: social, attention switching, attention to detail, communication, imagination (50 items)
  • →The domain profile is more informative than the total score
  • →A high score may support seeking an assessment — it is not a diagnosis

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

Especially helpful when

you want to put into concrete words how much and how you "adjust" socially — not just the vague sense of "playing a role".

What it captures
  • →Three subscales: compensation, masking, assimilation (25 items)
  • →Scores are referenced to the autistic sample, not a neurotypical norm
  • →A high score reflects real effort, not something to fix

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

Especially helpful when

you want to separate repetitive motor behaviours from the need for routine and sameness — and see them as valid self-regulation, not habits to eliminate.

What it captures
  • →20 items across two subscales: repetitive movement and insistence on sameness
  • →No official clinical cutoffs — the bands are descriptive only
  • →These patterns are understood as self-regulation, not symptoms

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

Especially helpful when

you want to explore a pattern of demand avoidance driven by the need for autonomy, associated with the PDA profile — not defiance, but a response to anxiety and loss of control.

What it captures
  • →26 items, faithfully translated from the original research questionnaire
  • →The neuro-affirming reframe sits under each blunt original item
  • →A high score does not mean a PDA profile — no validated clinical instrument for it yet exists

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

Especially helpful when

you want a first clear signal about autistic traits in adulthood, across several domains at once — not just a guess.

What it captures
  • →Fourteen items, across the social, sensory, and attentional domains
  • →A score of 14 or more suggests a full autism assessment is worthwhile
  • →Can be influenced by anxiety or masking — worth discussing together

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

Especially helpful when

you want to put your attention style into words — deep focus on a few things, or attention spread across many — not just the feeling of "losing yourself" in something.

What it captures
  • →Forty-seven items, co-developed with the autistic community
  • →Shows transitions, interest depth, and flow states, not just one score
  • →Higher score = more monotropic attentional style — a difference, not a flaw

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

Especially helpful when

you want an autism screen calibrated to the female and internalized phenotype — often missed by male-normed screeners.

What it captures
  • →21 items across five domains: imagination, camouflaging, sensory, socialising, interests
  • →A score above 56 indicates a high level of autistic traits
  • →Not a diagnostic tool — it reflects a profile worth exploring

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

Especially helpful when

you want to measure social connection as autistic people actually experience it — co-developed with autistic adults, not adapted from a neurotypical instrument.

What it captures
  • →8 items, co-developed with autistic adults
  • →A higher score shows stronger social connection
  • →Measures the wish for authentic relating, not social conformity

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

Especially helpful when

you want to explore subtler autistic traits, below the threshold of a full diagnosis — social aloofness, pragmatic language, rigidity.

What it captures
  • →36 items across three subscales, each scored as a mean
  • →Subscale cutoffs: aloofness 3.25, rigidity 3.50, pragmatic language 2.75
  • →Items are kept faithful to the original for validity

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

Especially helpful when

you want a close person's perspective on autistic traits — useful when self-perception is hard to separate from masking.

What it captures
  • →36 items, same structure as the self-report form, completed by someone close
  • →Same three subscales and cutoffs as BAPQ
  • →Complements the self-report, not a replacement for it

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

ADHD88 instruments
Attention, impulsivity, executive function
Especially helpful when

ADHD-type traits seem to be affecting your last six months and you want a first signal before a full assessment.

What it captures
  • →Structured in two parts; Part A (6 items) is the actual screen
  • →Four or more shaded-zone answers suggest an ADHD assessment is worthwhile
  • →Often overlaps with anxiety, sleep loss, or burnout — worth discussing together

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

Especially helpful when

you want to see exactly where executive function needs more support — planning, initiation, working memory, flexibility — not a general "disorganized" label.

What it captures
  • →16 items across eight executive-function domains
  • →Shows where you need accommodations, not a character flaw
  • →Useful for choosing fitting strategies

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

What it captures
  • →18 items across nine interpersonal situations, each with two questions
  • →The score combines concern with the expectation of rejection
  • →A learned pattern from past experience, not a flaw

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

  • →The clinical signal is per-domain, not a total score
  • →Published by CADDRA, freely used with citation

Especially helpful when

you want to separate five different kinds of impulsivity — not "how impulsive you are", but in what specific way, which matters a great deal for strategy.

What it captures
  • →20 items across five distinct impulsivity facets
  • →No clinical cutoff — only comparison norms
  • →The difference between facets guides the therapeutic strategy

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

Especially helpful when

you wonder whether ADHD-type traits have been with you over the past six months and want a first signal, in two minutes, before an assessment.

What it captures
  • →The six questions of the WHO screener (ASRS v1.1, Part A)
  • →Four or more answers above threshold suggest an ADHD assessment
  • →A screen, not a diagnosis: it often overlaps with anxiety or sleep loss

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

  • →An axis profile (radar) showing where it presses most
  • →Comparative bars across the three dimensions

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

  • →A score of 21 or more suggests clinically significant OCD
  • →Shows where it presses most, not just how much

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

Especially helpful when

you want to see positive and negative affect separately — two independent dimensions, not one good/bad total.

What it captures
  • →Two independent scales: positive affect · negative affect
  • →Comparative bars across the two dimensions
  • →Longitudinal repeat to track the direction of each

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

Especially helpful when

you want a short, positive marker of wellbeing, easy to repeat often, to see the direction over time — not a list of symptoms.

What it captures
  • →5 positively phrased items, percentage score 0-100%
  • →Below 50% signals poor wellbeing; below 28% warrants a depression screen
  • →A public-domain, WHO-recognised instrument

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

  • →Relevant also for people with dyscalculia or ADHD

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

  • →No official clinical cutoff — the trajectory matters more than a single score

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

What it captures
  • →16 items about worry, not bodily symptoms

  • →Complements GAD-7 — isolates the thinking loop itself

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

Burnout66 instruments
Exhaustion, overload, remaining resources
Especially helpful when

you want to recognise which "part" takes over under stress — the vulnerable child, the inner critic, the protectors — to be with it, not get rid of it.

What it captures
  • →40 items, ten schema modes adapted for a neurodivergent context
  • →A mode mean of 4.0 or more suggests that mode is frequently active
  • →A tool for therapeutic reflection, not a diagnosis

  • →A schema mean of 4.0 or more suggests it is clinically active
  • →Schemas are coping strategies that once made sense, not flaws

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

What it captures
  • →27 items with official AASPIRE wording, a single total score
  • →No officially validated cutoffs for autistic burnout yet exist
  • →Pairs with ABO — same topic, a short 8-item version

you feel general physical and psychological fatigue and want a concrete marker, not just the impression of "being tired".

What it captures
  • →Six items, scored on a 0–100 scale
  • →The usual threshold for significant burnout is 50 or more
  • →A screen of your recent state, not a clinical diagnosis

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

What it captures
  • →A brief 5-item scale
  • →A band of 17 or more shows high parental burnout
  • →Distinct from depression — it does not reflect how much you love your child

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

  • →Combines MSS-YSQ (80 items) with BESQ (24 items)
  • →Links cognitive schemas to burnout and masking
  • →A larger bundle — for a shorter exploration, see YSQ-R

Trauma66 instruments
Adverse experiences and how they show up now

  • →A score of 31 or more suggests probable PTSD
  • →A screen of the past month, not a formal diagnosis

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

  • →A higher score shows a statistically higher likelihood, not a certainty
  • →Resilience, support and therapy change the trajectory

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

What it captures
  • →28 items, each rated from 0% to 100%
  • →An average score of 30% or more suggests significant dissociation
  • →A frequency measure, not a diagnosis

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

you want to distinguish between PTSD and Complex PTSD (ICD-11) — not just trauma severity, but whether it affects emotion regulation, self-concept and relationships.

What it captures
  • →18 items, ICD-11 categorical algorithm: PTSD or Complex PTSD, never both
  • →The clinically meaningful output is the categorical pattern, not the total score
  • →A public-domain instrument, freely used with citation

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

Regulation1111 instruments
Emotions, interoception, self-regulation
Especially helpful when

What it captures
  • →20 items across three subscales: identifying, describing, externally-oriented thinking
  • →Cutoffs of 51 and 61 mark possible and present alexithymia
  • →Reflects a different processing of emotions, not their absence

What it captures
  • →Eight facets of interoceptive awareness (37 items)
  • →No "good" or "bad" scores — a profile, not an evaluation
  • →A reflection tool, not a diagnosis

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

you want to understand your temperamental style — how sensitive you are to punishment versus reward signals — not to fit yourself into a problem.

What it captures
  • →20 items across four subscales: inhibition plus three activation facets

  • →Useful for understanding motivation, avoidance and stimulation-seeking

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

you want to see exactly where emotion regulation breaks down — in clarity, acceptance, or impulse control — not just that you "get overwhelmed easily".

What it captures
  • →Six emotion-regulation subscales (18 items)
  • →Can reflect alexithymia or overload, not lack of effort
  • →A screen, not a diagnosis

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

  • →Measures the perception of stress, not the life events themselves
  • →Good to repeat monthly, as a background marker

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

you want to track self-compassion as a resource — not a problem to solve, but something to cultivate and watch grow over time.

What it captures
  • →12 items across six facets: self-kindness, mindfulness, common humanity
  • →The overall score is the meaningful one; facet scores are only a soft profile
  • →A higher score means more self-compassion

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

Especially helpful when

you want a finer-grained map of alexithymia than TAS-20 — separating difficulty with negative feelings from positive ones, plus externally oriented thinking.

What it captures
  • →24 items across five subscales
  • →Separates positive from negative emotions, unlike most other alexithymia scales
  • →A difference in emotional awareness, not a character flaw

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

Especially helpful when

you want to identify your natural chronotype — morning or evening — so you can organise your day with it, not against it.

What it captures
  • →5 items, each with its own point scale
  • →Bands: evening type, intermediate, morning type
  • →Chronotype is a neutral biological difference, not a flaw

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

Especially helpful when

you want a progress marker in therapy that measures a resource, not a difficulty — rising confidence in coping alongside falling scores elsewhere.

What it captures
  • →10 items about confidence in coping with difficulties
  • →No clinical cutoff — the scale is dimensional, higher is better
  • →Useful alongside PHQ-9 or GAD-7, for a fuller picture

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

Especially helpful when

you want to separate rumination that keeps you stuck (self-critical, "why me") from reflection that helps you understand — two things that feel alike but are not.

What it captures
  • →10 items, two subscales: brooding and reflection
  • →Brooding predicts more depression over time; reflection predicts less
  • →No clinical cutoff — only community norms

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

you want to see whether gaming has become hard to control and what it costs you, not just how much time you spend playing.

What it captures

  • →The official criterion needs 5 or more "very often" answers, not just a high total
  • →A pattern that costs things you care about, not a flaw

Functioning1313 instruments
How your body and system work day to day

  • →Useful for tracking change over time and opening a conversation
  • →Reflects how you feel today, not a severity score

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

  • →A practice adaptation for triage, not the officially validated PSQI
  • →Useful for tracking change in sleep quality over time

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

  • →Fourteen subscales: hyper- and hypo-reactivity across seven senses
  • →A higher score reflects real sensory differences, not exaggeration
  • →Guides concrete accommodations — it does not give a diagnosis

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

What it captures
  • →15 items about bodily sensations over the past 4 weeks
  • →Published bands: minimal, low, medium, high

What it captures
  • →10 items across five energy domains
  • →A self-observation aid, not a validated psychometric test
  • →Low energy is a nervous-system reality, not laziness

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

Map out your boundaries, values, needs
Especially helpful when

you want to see separately how much you live in line with your values and how much inner barriers block you — two different things, not one.

  • →High progress plus low obstruction = values-consistent living
  • →Useful in ACT-based work, tracking direction rather than just state

You can pause anytime and pick up where you left off.

Especially helpful when

you want to see more clearly where your boundaries are clear and where they're more porous — across concrete areas, not just the general feeling of "not knowing how to say no".

  • →Cutoffs of 8, 16 and 20 show rising risk levels, not confirmed dependence
  • →A high score is an invitation to talk, not a label

  • →A score of 3 or more is the usual threshold for a fuller assessment
  • →A public-domain instrument, distributed by NIDA, SAMHSA and WHO
