Concerning advert - Autism Quiz

4 replies

I was a little concerned by this advert, as the provider calls itself 'free quiz games' and suggests you can 'find out if you are autistic'.

Online diagnostic tools can be useful indicators, but no responsible provider would claim that an online quiz can diagnose a person as autistic, and to present it under the branding of a 'game' is quite insulting to those of us who struggle with a neurodivergent condition, or care for someone who does.

There's a risk that trivialised, inaccurate diagnoses might cause unnecessary worry to people and hinder them in receiving the right support for any condition they do have. I think you should consider blocking this one.

There have been similar ads for ADHD “tests” that have a picture of the Isihara test for colour blindness.

MNHQ - is there any chance you could look at this, please?

Hi there @SwanOfThoseThings . Thanks for letting us know. We've sorted this now so you should no longer be seeing it but if it pops up again or anyone sees similar ads please do let us know. Screengrabs and details of where you spotted it are always helpful. Flowers
