Which free online tests for adult autism would you recommend?

Maybe specifically for women, what I think I have feels very different from some public male perception of autism.

And also if there are private tests that are less than 2k. Can't even book an appointment wth my GP - not a single appointment in next 16 weeks available and can't book further ahead.

Thank you in advance

I would explore the Embrace Autism website as it covers a lot of the different screening tests and what they are used for.

The RDOS.net test is pretty comprehensive, and gives far more detailed results than any other I've encountered. Anecdotally (in the autistic communities I'm a member of), there's no way to distinguish between male and female results.

I'm currently using psychiatry-uk.com (on nhs so not sure about fees). Didn't need to speak to gp just printed off the forms with a letter, handed into gp and they sent me a text to say they'd referred me. I was referred last May had some forms to fill in in July. Then in February they sent me 4 more forms and am now at the point I'm waiting for an appointment.

I did the AQ50 test when I first suspected I was autistic. It feels a bit skewed towards male stereotypes (remembering car number plates, etc), but I still found it useful, and (not much help if you can't get an appointment) my GP had actually heard of it too.
