A screening tool built for how ADHD and autism actually interact
Most tools measure ADHD or Autism in isolation. They miss how the two interact, mask each other, and create a third experience entirely. We built iamaudhd to see the full picture.
Most screening tools miss the full picture
Standard ADHD screeners don't account for autistic traits. Standard autism assessments don't consider ADHD. And neither is designed to detect the ways these two conditions interact when they co-occur.
That interaction matters. Autistic focus and routine-building can mask ADHD inattention. ADHD-driven sociability can mask autistic social differences. The result is people who score “borderline” on single-axis tools when the real answer is that they have both — and the traits are hiding each other.
This is called mutual masking, and it's one of the main reasons people with AuDHD go unrecognized. Existing tools weren't designed to see it. We built one that is.
Built different, on purpose
One instrument, not a mashup
Most AuDHD tests take a few ADHD questions and a few autism questions and put them on the same page. We built a unified assessment from the ground up to measure how these conditions interact — including the ways they mask, amplify, and reshape each other.
Built for depth, not a quick mashup
170 questions spanning 3 life stages, 14 subscales, and mutual masking detection. Built to trace AuDHD patterns from childhood through adulthood.
Honest pricing
$19.99 once. Forever. No subscriptions, no upsells, no data selling. Your full report, PDF export, and lifetime community access — for less than the copay on a single therapy session.
Privacy-first
No account needed to start. Zero personal data collected during the assessment. Full GDPR-compliant deletion. No third-party analytics or tracking.
Research-backed, not guesswork
Our screening is informed by five validated clinical instruments used in professional practice, plus six original domains designed to explore AuDHD co-occurrence patterns that standard tools are less likely to capture.
The scoring engine uses proportional exclusion — skipped questions are excluded from both the numerator and denominator, so your results reflect what you actually answered, not penalties for what you didn't. If too many questions in a domain are skipped, we report “insufficient data” instead of a misleading low score.
Built by someone who gets it
In elementary school, I was identified as “gifted” and placed into advanced programs. It was the 1980s, and nobody connected those abilities — the hyperfocus, the pattern recognition, the intensity — to possible autism spectrum traits. The giftedness was celebrated. Everything underneath it went unseen.
As an adult, I hit the wall that so many people with unrecognized AuDHD eventually hit: burnout. Not the ordinary kind — the deep, structural kind that comes from decades of masking. The exhaustion of performing “normal” in every social interaction. The guilt of having a social battery that doesn't work like everyone else's. The feeling that something fundamental doesn't add up, even when everything on the surface looks fine.
Understanding the why changed everything for me. It didn't fix anything overnight, but it gave me permission to make decisions that honor how my brain actually works — to know my limits, to stop apologizing for them, and to build a life that fits. I created iamaudhd so that others can find that understanding too, without the years of searching I went through.
